Build failing on OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)

[ravi]

On OS X 10.8.2, make fails because it does not build the dependencies (hiredis, lua, in my case). If I go cd ../deps; make hiredis lua that succeeds after which cd ../src; make succeeds.

Hi @ravi Have you stopped building redis with make?
I suggest that

make distclean; make

If you cancel the build process during make?
It is because of it.

@charsym, that looks like it. While I did not cancel the build, it failed on an earlier attempt (due to other reasons) and while I did a make clean I did not make distclean. So I tried that now: make distclean followed by make and that worked.

Thank you @ravi. It is because while building redis, makefile create .make-presetting and .make-pre* files and if make find it. it don't try to make deps folders :) and that time just use make distclean. Thank you.

@charsyam thank you for the explanation.
