This bit of Makefile code is possibly going wrong for you:
-include $(shell echo $(ProjectDirectory) | tr A-Z a-z)/mk/config.mk -include $(shell echo $(ProjectDirectory) | tr A-Z a-z)/mk/version.mk
Try this instead:
$ make Project=Ghc ProjectDirectory=ghc show VALUE=GhcBinDistDirs
from the top level. Maybe that tr command doesn't work on Solaris?
venus [14:45:44]> echo foo | tr a-z A-Z foo venus [14:46:11]> echo foo | tr [a-z] [A-Z] FOO
From the man page:
/usr/xpg4/bin/tr c-c /usr/bin/tr [c-c] Represents the range of collating elements between the Posix has this to say on the subject: " On historical System V systems, a range expression requires enclosing square-brackets, such as: tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' However, BSD-based systems did not require the brackets, and this convention is used here to avoid breaking large numbers of BSD scripts: tr a-z A-Z The preceding System V script will continue to work because the brackets, treated as regular characters, are translated to themselves. However, any System V script that relied on "a-z" representing the three characters 'a' , '-' , and 'z' have to be rewritten as "az-" . " Maybe it's safe to switch to the bracketed version these days... This also works fine on Linnix and FreeBSD. Finding the correct 'tr' on Solaris is probably more tedious.
