#5 Dtrace and compile: again?
Hi!
Well this dtrace stuff is really persistent!
I do not know why but it again asks me about dtrace on Linux compile...
I am now using the 2.2.0 version. Some time ago I compiled a fresh
distribution on my Linux w/o problems. Then I left it lying arround since
I had other stuff to do. Today I wanted to compile it again -> boom!
This is how I build:
./configure --enable-symbols --enable-threads --enable-64bit
and after doing make I get:
zoran@zoranvbox:~/hg/lexxapps/src/nsf2.2.0$ make
dtrace -h -o generic/nsfDTrace.h -s ./generic/nsfDTrace.d
/bin/bash: dtrace: command not found
Makefile:790: recipe for target 'generic/nsfDTrace.h' failed
make: *** [generic/nsfDTrace.h] Error 127
So SOMETHING is wrong with this stuff but I cannot tell you what.
Can you tell me how can I disable it? Or... better... what info do you
need to be able to fix that?
BTW... the --without-dtrace does not work. Neither --with-dtrace=NO.
It always wants to use dtrace during compile.
Cheers
Zoran
FYI: I am using 8.5.19 Tcl
I have downloaded the fresh new 2.2.0 and there it works :-/
So SOMETHING is wrong between my older version of 2.2.0 and the new one.
But I would like to know what, if possible. The only change is that my version
was checked in under Mercurial as part of our project. I am afraid this will happen
again so I would really like to find out what is happening.
What files/info you need to be able to track this down?
Here is the complete terminal output of configure/make:

I 'solved' the problem by scrapping all DTRACE variables from the Makefile
and configure templates. Had to make awk script that does this for me
automatically.
Hi Zoran!
Could you zip up your 2.2.0 source directory and attach it to the ticket (or send it to us)? Pls make it sure it contains the artifacts of running a failing ./configure (config.log).
This has certainly that smell. Can you tell me more about the build environment?
Cheers, Stefan
