Stefan Tauner (stefan.tauner@gmx.at) just uploaded a new patch set to gerrit, which you can find at http://review.coreboot.org/3548 -gerrit commit c3ffab4e87ee8474b267f7aefcfb5887e5e01e8e Author: Stefan Tauner <stefan.tauner@gmx.at> Date: Sun Jun 30 01:05:30 2013 +0200 cbmem: Fix makefile The .dependencies rule did not use the CPPFLAGS variable which led to funny behavior: a spurious termination message the first time (after checkout/make distclean) one executes make. Afterwards the (wrongly) empty .dependencies file hides the problem and the binary is created anyway. $ make cbmem.c:37:34: fatal error: boot/coreboot_tables.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. cc -O2 -Wall -Werror -iquote ../../src/include -iquote ../../src/src/arch/x86 -c -o cbmem.o cbmem.c cc cbmem.o -o cbmem $ make make: Nothing to be done for `all'. $ make clean rm -f cbmem *.o *~ $ make cc -O2 -Wall -Werror -iquote ../../src/include -iquote ../../src/src/arch/x86 -c -o cbmem.o cbmem.c cc cbmem.o -o cbmem $ make distclean rm -f cbmem *.o *~ rm -f .dependencies $ make cbmem.c:37:34: fatal error: boot/coreboot_tables.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. cc -O2 -Wall -Werror -iquote ../../src/include -iquote ../../src/src/arch/x86 -c -o cbmem.o cbmem.c cc cbmem.o -o cbmem I fixed that by adding the CPPFLAGS variable to the .dependencies recipe, just like Stefan Reinauer did in Chromium (Ia9d2e10a3ef122f30d681d16c2291eb108ead835), hence the split sign-off for this tiny change. :) Change-Id: Icd11b146ad762cbdf9774630b950f70e1253a072 Signed-off-by: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer@google.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Tauner <stefan.tauner@gmx.at> --- util/cbmem/Makefile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/util/cbmem/Makefile b/util/cbmem/Makefile index c93863a..51ee927 100644 --- a/util/cbmem/Makefile +++ b/util/cbmem/Makefile @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ distclean: clean rm -f .dependencies .dependencies: - @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -MM *.c > .dependencies + @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) -MM *.c > .dependencies .PHONY: all clean distclean
