in gcc git source root I'm getting make: *** empty variable name. Stop. and cannot remotely figure out why this is the case. I assume that the gcc build system works, but then why does it create an errornous Makefile? See the detailed log at https://travis-ci.org/krichter722/gcc/jobs/203079228.

I checked Makefile error: empty variable name, but it only covers the case when the user is creating the Makefile directly which I'm not doing.

  • You may want to check the following errors/warnings over at your end: "export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive W: Failed to fetch ppa.launchpad.net/rwky/redis/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/… 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch ppa.launchpad.net/rwky/redis/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/… 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." and also this one in particular "/home/travis/build/krichter722/gcc/missing: 81: /home/travis/build/krichter722/gcc/missing: makeinfo: not found"

  • What's your make version? I'm having the same issue with Ubuntu 16.04 with make version 4.1, while other developers on the team are at Ubuntu 14.04 or RHEL 6.8-ish, with make version 3.81 -- and they're not having any issues... I suspect a regression in 4.1.

Run your "make" with the following option: --warn-undefined-variables This will let you know which empty variable make is talking of.

    It doesn't, unfortunately.

  • Then you have to show the Makefile you are running with. There is a rogue " = " in an environment declaration on the command line where from make is getting invoked internally in the Makefile.

  • The export MAKEFLAGS="-j$((`grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo`*2))" command read export MAKEFLAGS=="-j$((`grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo`*2))" in the .travis.yml (but not in the web frontend) - strangest combination of issues I've seen in a while. Since your comment pointed me to it, I'd like to give you credit. I suggest you just edit the question to contain the described issue and if you don't feel comfortable with it add a hint that it's mine. Thank you!
