Hi all,

I'm attempting to update my Linux Synchronet build.

Pulling the repository down etc is working fine, but the build is failing with the following:

Compiling pktdump.c
Linking gcc.linux.x64.exe.release/pktdump
Compiling fmsgdump.c
Linking gcc.linux.x64.exe.release/fmsgdump
Compiling trashman.c
Linking gcc.linux.x64.exe.release/trashman
make: *** No rule to make target 'sbbs4defs.h', needed by 'gcc.linux.x64.obj.release/upgrade_to_v319.o'. Stop.

Any pointers on how to resolve?

Same error if I use the latest code or the main release tag.

Thanks,

Tristan.

Looks like a stale dependency (that file doesn't exist and shouldn't be referenced anywhere). Run 'make clean' first.

I'm attempting to update my Linux Synchronet build.

Compiling trashman.c
Linking gcc.linux.x64.exe.release/trashman
make: *** No rule to make target 'sbbs4defs.h', needed by 'gcc.linux.x64.obj.release/upgrade_to_v319.o'. Stop.

This is now solved. I did a fresh git checkout in a brand new directory and everything went smoothly.

Next time, just 'make clean'. :-)
