No rule to make target 'conv-autoconfig.h', needed by 'xi-main.o'

[jbakosi]

I'm attempting to build on alpine linux, using

build charm++ mpi-linux-x86_64 --build-shared --with-production --disable-charmdebug -j36 -O3 -DNDEBUG

I get

./configure: line 3806: syntax error: unexpected redirection
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'conv-autoconfig.h', needed by 'xi-main.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/quinoa/quinoa-tpl/install/gnu-x86_64/charm/mpi-linux-x86_64/tmp'

Please let me know if you need more information.

Can you please post line 3806 of tmp/configure? What is the output of /bin/sh --version?

[jbakosi]

configure:3806:

        IFS=' ' read LDXX_WHOLE_ARCHIVE_PRE LDXX_WHOLE_ARCHIVE_POST <<< $i

There is no output from /bin/sh --version. I have also tested this with bash 5.0, and I get the same problem.

Can you try the following?

In line 823 of src/scripts/configure.ac, replace

IFS=' ' read LDXX_WHOLE_ARCHIVE_PRE LDXX_WHOLE_ARCHIVE_POST <<< $i

with

IFS=' ' echo $i | read LDXX_WHOLE_ARCHIVE_PRE LDXX_WHOLE_ARCHIVE_POST

, remove the tmp directory, and rebuild.

That's a fix! Thanks!

Thank you for testing this! I'll submit a patch.
