GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 510118
plugins/externaltools/data/Makefile.am uses chmod --reference
Last modified: 2019-03-23 20:32:57 UTC
that seems to be exclusive to gnu coreutils' version of chmod Making all in externaltools Making all in tools make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. Making all in data LC_ALL=C ../../../intltool-merge -d -u -c ../../../po/.intltool-merge-cache /Source/gedit/gedit/po /Source/gedit/gedit/plugins/externaltools/data/build.desktop.in build.desktop Found cached translation database Merging translations into build.desktop. perl /Source/gedit/gedit/plugins/externaltools/scripts/gedit-tool-merge.pl -o build /Source/gedit/gedit/plugins/externaltools/data/build.tool.in build.desktop chmod --reference=/Source/gedit/gedit/plugins/externaltools/data/build.tool.in build usage: chmod [-R [-H | -L | -P]] mode file ... make[2]: *** [build] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
Created attachment 103385 [details] [review] Chmod patch This should solve the problem. It simply replace 'chmod --reference=...' with 'chmod 755 ...'
Does it still distcheck ?
still looks broken in gedit-2.24.1
fixed in svn. sorry for the delay.
