HI Diego, I dropped the luatex and dev-context lists, but added Peter. Where does the problem below pop up? I build.sh, we have this bit of code (from Martin, I believe) MAKE=make; if make -v 2>&1| grep "GNU Make" >/dev/null then echo "Your make is a GNU-make; I will use that" elif gmake -v >/dev/null 2>&1 then MAKE=gmake; echo "You have a GNU-make installed as gmake; I will use that" else echo "I can't find a GNU-make; I'll try to use make and hope that works." echo "If it doesn't, please install GNU-make." fi but your error clearly comes from a different place. Best wishes, Taco Diego Depaoli wrote:

Hi,

I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.52.0.

Sorry Taco for bothering you again. On my FreeBSD box, configure fails here

if test -z "`${MAKE-make} -v 2>/dev/null | grep GNU`"; then if test "x$enable_native_texlive_build" = xno; then { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: WARNING: Building TeX Live may require GNU make" >&5 $as_echo "$as_me: WARNING: Building TeX Live may require GNU make" >&2;} else as_fn_error "Building TeX Live requires GNU make" "$LINENO" 5 fi fi

since ${MAKE-make} is set to make instead of gmake which (co)exists in my system. At this moment I've no time to find a better workaround than to skip this test.

Regards

Hi Diego, Taco, some parts of the TeX Live tree (libs/freetype2/ and libs/icu/ if I remember correctly) require GNU make. Thus the TL top-level configure checks for this and produces a warning (--disable-native-texlive-build) or an error (--enable-native-texlive-build, the default). We think this is much better than failing at a later stage of the build process. If you have GNU make installed somewhere you should say configure MAKE=/PATH/TO/GUN-MAKE ... or whith the TL ./Build script TL_MAKE=/PATH/TO/GUN-MAKE ./Build ... I suppose, the luatex ./build script is a variation of ./Build, so this should also work with ./build. If you don't have GNU make you might try configure --disable-native-texlive-build ... but then the build may fail at a later stage. This ought to be mentioned in TL's top-level README.config -- yet to be done. Regards Peter Breitenlohner

Diego, can you try whether it works if build.sh sets TL_MAKE as well as MAKE?

Setting TL_MAKE did not solve, but setenv MAKE /PATH/TO/MY/GMAKE worked. Many thanks -- Diego Depaoli
