Deprecation warning in gmake 4.3 was created by krell
GNU make 4.3 is coming to my system. What do I have to know in order to build my copy of the mud? Is this related to the changes in the Makefile recently regarding the *BSDs?

* NOTE: Deprecated behavior.
Contrary to the documentation, suffix rules with prerequisites are being
treated BOTH as simple targets AND as pattern rules. Further, the
prerequisites are ignored by the pattern rules. POSIX specifies that in
order to be a suffix rule there can be no prerequisites defined. In this
release if POSIX mode is enabled then rules with prerequisites cannot be
suffix rules. If POSIX mode is not enabled then the previous behavior is
preserved (a pattern rule with no extra prerequisites is created) AND a
warning about this behavior is generated:
warning: ignoring prerequisites on suffix rule definition
The POSIX behavior will be adopted as the only behavior in a future release
of GNU make so please resolve any warnings.

It might be. I just tested GNU make 4.3 on my (linux) system, and there were no problems at all. Can you upload your makefile?

Hmm. The wildcard and patsubst commands must be BSD only. In github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/master/src/Makefile.in the .c and .o files are listed explicitly. That may be the issue.

If you want to try it out, move your Makefile to Makefile.current and run ./config.status to generate a new one based on the Makefile.in from standard tbamud. See if that makes a difference. Note: you'll have to add any files you've added to get them to compile :)

Okay, thanks. I'll try the existing Makefile first when I see 4.3 has been installed. If I have any issues I'll try the new Makefile.

I don't know. They seem to be, or have been, features of gnu make. But I can't recall if I put them in my Makefile or if configure did so automagically. It's been a long time since I've modified my Makefile and everything seemed to "just work," so I'm assuming that configure must have done the deed?
