make depend errors using Sun Studio 11
Hi,
I'm trying to compile OpenSSL 0.9.8d on a Sun T1000 running Solaris 10 with Sun Studio 11. I added RC5 support, so I ran "make depend" but I'm
getting the following errors:
makedepend: warning: cryptlib.c: 150: #error("Unrecognized compiler
protocol for variable argument lists").
I searched & saw similar messages if one is compiling with gcc, but
I'm not using it. What must I do to get this to run cleanly?
Thanks.

Is it necessary to run "make depend" to compile it?
The utility "makedepend" is not a part of Sun Studio.
There is a much better feature in Sun Studio to keep
the dependencies up to date. It is called KEEP_STATE.
You can find more about this feature in "make" man page.
Why it is necessary to run "make depend"?
Thanks,
Nik

Hi Nik,
I made a change to add a cipher to openssl. After running Configure, it prompted me to run "make depend" to update the dependencies. I think it is using makedepend from /usr/openwin/bin/makedepend. I don't have any other version installed.
I looked at the make man page for KEEP_STATE, but I'm not sure how to best use it. I'd like to simply set the KEEP_STATE env variable, but I don't know how to set it under bash. Also, I don't know if it is as simple as running make after setting it.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks.

First of all, in order to use KEEP_STATE feature of Sun 'make' (/usr/ccs/bin/make), please make sure you're using Sun 'make', not the GNU one. Usually, makefiles generated by configure are not compatible with Sun 'make'.
If you're using /usr/ccs/bin/make, enabling KEEP_STATE feature should easy:
$ export KEEP_STATE=1
$ make

Thanks, Maxim. I had a feeling it had to be something simple. I don't know why the csh is used in examples when most people use ksh or bash. I was also able to work around the problem by downloading makedepend from X.org & compiling it, instead of using the one that comes with Solaris. I guess the difference between the Sun version & X.org version of makedepend is like the difference between Sun make & GNU make.
Thanks, again.
