PH05219: CLEARMAKE SUN EMULATION FAILS WITH ERROR LOCATING /USR/INCLUDE/MAKE/DEFAULT.MK ON LINUX

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• When performing a build using the IBM Rational ClearCase
  "clearmake" tool, attempting to use SUN make emulation on Linux
  will fail with a "file not found" error looking for
  /usr/include/make/default.mk, which does not exist on a Linux
  host.
  
  According to the clearmake man page, this is not the location
  that clearmake should default to:
                 |  * If you specify -r, clearmake reads
                  | ccase-home-dir/etc/sunvars.mk.
                  |  * If you do not specify -r, clearmake reads
                  | ccase-home-dir/etc/sunvars.mk and
                  | ccase-home-dir/etc/sunbuiltin.mk.
  

Local fix

• Option 1) Create a directory named /usr/share/lib/make; Create a
  link named "make.rules" in that directory pointing back to
  ccase-home-dir/etc/sunbuiltin.mk.
  Option 2) Create a directory named /usr/include/make; Create a
  link named default.mk in that directory pointing back to
  ccase-home-dir/etc/sunbuiltin.mk.
  Option 3) Create an empty file named "default.mk" in the current
  directory.
