hylafax version 2:6.0.5-5ubuntu1 failed to build on i386

It seems there's a bug in their configure, but it isn't a bashism (forced it to use /bin/bash, and still no dice)... it's not an autoconf one, and definitely hand-baked, down to the strange messages emitted when detecting type of system being built for. One fix might be to use autoconf, though there was probably a reason they didn't in the first place...

Cheers,

Michael

Basic issue is that GNU make 'helpfully' adds printouts from directories when it is called. This is probably in a form that can be used upstream...

Sorry, typo in that patch... Adding one that isn't missing an indirection.

Is there something wrong with the patch I posted? Please let me know if there's something I can do to make it more palatable...

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the patch, I actually couldn't quite understand why it resolved the issue - could you explain it please?

Also, note that it makes it easier for sponsors if the patch is debianized, however that is not a blocker.

Thanks.

Make adds further output when called from another instance of make (through
the MAKELEVEL environment variable ). This patch takes away that extra
output ).

Looks sensible to me, will upload this. Would you mind forwarding your change to Debian too?
