8.2 Problems with make

Once coNCePTuaL is configured, the next step is to build the various components. This section explains what to do if a compile fails or make is otherwise unable to perform all of its operations.

• Failure following "missing" check:    Spurious rebuilding of Autotools files
• Too many columns in multitable item:    Building Emacs info files
• Can't find compiler_version.h:    Running ‘make install’ properly
• Could not read symbols:    Linking with the correct libraries
• Incorrect tools/flags are utilized:    ncptl ignores configure variables
• Compaq compilers on Alpha CPUs:    Dealing with compiler idiosyncrasies
• undefined type found DEFINE____:    Thwarting an excessively "smart" cpp
• "makehelper.py config" fails:    Using Cygwin Python with a non-Cygwin cpp
• Building on problematic platforms:    Hacking makefiles by hand
