RE: [Help-gnu-radius] 'Radiusd' executable does not 'make' in Cygnus (XP) for radius-1.3

[D Saban]

Hello Sergey

I found a workaround - here it is.  UPDATE the line (in the
radiusd/Makefile) that follows:

sbin_PROGRAMS = radiusd

TO

sbin_PROGRAMS = radiusd.exe

This will cause make to include the appropriate -I flags when executing
gcc.

I had already figured that 'make' was not doing its thing.  But I was
still confused about the Makefile execution, particularly because its
general structure and layout was similar to the other Makefiles in the
distribution.

I have not played with Makefiles for ... a very long time, so I had to
remove the dust and cobwebs from my grey matter before tracking down the
Makefile anomaly.  I started with the assumption that the 'all:'
directive was faulty (thanks to your hint about the missing -I flags).
This naturally lead me to:

all-am: Makefile $(PROGRAMS) $(LISP)

which followed to:

PROGRAMS = $(sbin_PROGRAMS)

which followed to the updating of the 'sbin_PROGRAMS' label.  

Basically the unfolding of the all-am: directive was not similar to
thoses in the other make files.

This leads me to believe that some fault is at large in the configure
file that produces the radiusd/Makefile.

But I'm not going to track that problem down - too many cobwebs.

Thanks for your help.

As shows the excerpt below, the gcc invocation is missing -I flags:

The error is critical, without proper -I settings gcc will not be able
to find any of radius include files.

Possible reasons for this behavior are: (i) malfunction of configure
or (ii) malfunction of make under cygwin.

I'm quite surprised that other utilities have succeeded to build,
since this implies that other Makefiles have correct options to
gcc.

Try reconfiguring the package. If this does not help, try copying
`INCLUDE=' line from any Makefile that has succeeded to build to
radiusd/Makefile.

Regards,
Sergey
