Hello all,

I have an error when building cvs on HPUX, here are the explanation and patch.

--- EXPLANATION

lib/Makefile.in contains this block :

libcvs_a_LIBADD = \
    @LIBOBJS@ \
    @ALLOCA@

In my case, ALLOCA is empty. As a result, in the generated Makefile, the command
gets and the next one get mixed:

libcvs_a_LIBADD = \
     sunos57-select$U.o lstat$U.o mktime$U.o getline$U.o getndelim2$U.o
getopt$U.o getopt1$U.o getpass$U.o mkstemp$U.o tempname$U.o realloc$U.o
regex$U.o rpmatch$U.o setenv$U.o unsetenv$U.o time_r$U.o vasnprintf$U.o
printf-args$U.o printf-parse$U.o asnprintf$U.o vasprintf$U.o asprintf$U.o \
BUILT_SOURCES = $(ALLOCA_H) $(FNMATCH_H) $(GETOPT_H) $(STDBOOL_H) \
    $(STDINT_H)

Which obviously fails, because of the antislash just before "BUILT_SOURCES".

cvs:      1.12.11
System:   HP-UX B.11.00 A
Hardware: PA/RISC 2.0 8500 64-bits 9000/785/C360

--- PATCH

And here is a quick and dirty patch :

lib/Makefile.in
307,308c307,308
<       @LIBOBJS@ \
<       @ALLOCA@
---
>       @ALLOCA@ \
>       @LIBOBJS@

Thanks,
Nicolas Raoul.
