Summary0000305: Error during the build with clang
DescriptionI tried to configure and build Mercury with clang on my computer but it seems to fail, outputting:

------------------------------------------------
MMAKE_DIR=`pwd`/scripts scripts/mmake MMAKEFLAGS= all
/var/folders/bg/szy711t55qqgs0sssfxdj36h0000gn/T//mmake.ohG6jy:674: warning: undefined variable `DESTDIR'
scripts/Mmake.vars:674: warning: undefined variable `DESTDIR'
Mmake.common:135: warning: undefined variable `DESTDIR'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.README.in', needed by `README'. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
------------------------------------------------

I attached the output of the two commands to configure and to build.

Would there is a way this issue could be solved?
Steps To Reproduce$ ./configure --with-cc=clang
$ make

Can you confirm that the hidden file .README.in is present in the top-level of the source
tree you have? It seems to be an issue with make; what version of that are you using?

Thank you for your answer.

.README.in is in the directory from which I configure and build:

--------------------------------------
$ ./configure --with-cc=clang
[…]
$ ls -alrth .README.in
-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaudantignac staff 5,1K 30 avr 2013 .README.in
--------------------------------------

The version of make is 3.81:

--------------------------------------
$ make -v

I can't see anything obviously wrong in the configuration log. What happens if you comment out
the rule at Mmakefile:409

README: .README.in VERSION
        sed 's/@VERSION@/$(VERSION)/g' .README.in > README

This problem appears to be specific to OS X 10.9, every recent version of Mercury is working on 10.8.

Please let me know if it is successful or not -- incidentally, what version of Mercury are you
trying to install?
