Denis, can you please pull the latest, built, run and report?Unfortunately it's not easy to build from Git unless you have a full suite of autotools available.
Indeed this is true but having all those tools is mostly just a set of steps and some effort. Therefore let's not think of automake/autoconf and friends as a barrier whatsoever.
I am thinking of creating the official 4.3 release any day now (I was going to do it yesterday but got sidetracked). I can instead create a new release candidate if people feel it's warranted.
Yes please. With full enthusiasm.
I've often wished there was a straightforward way to generate "nightly builds" (at least for nights when there have been changes pushed) that we could point people at. I have no problems making them, I just am not sure where to publish them. Pushing them to alpha.gnu.org is a lot of overhead but maybe that's the right place anyway.
Firstly, this needs to be said. Thank you for your efforts and endless diligence. In my opinion GNU make is the beginning of all things to be built on just about any system that is able. It has become the defacto standard 'make' and that has been true for at least a decade. Let's not rush headlong without a great deal of care. Another release candidate is a great idea. Consider that GNU Make 4.2.1 has done well for a long time now and whatever release we work towards today will become the baseline starting point of toolchains everywhere. We should take time and care. -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spoken GreyBeard and suspenders optional
