~/rpm/SOURCES/euphoria-4.0/source# ./configure --without-euphoria --full --debug  
~/rpm/SOURCES/euphoria-4.0/source]# make  
eui -i ../include revget.ex -root /home/hostured/rpm/SOURCES/euphoria-4.0

The failure to use eui to run revget.ex is ignored.

Most of the time, when this happens to me, the build continues fine onward and I don't have any problems. Because I have an old be_rev.c left over from a previous build.

The debian source package should probably contain a dummy be_rev.c to allow the compile to continue.

A cleaner way to deal with this might be to make a revget.sh and have revget.sh call eui revget.ex and if that fails or returns a non-zero error code then the shell script manually creates a dummy be_rev.c

The whole rev.e / be_rev.c / revget.ex system has gotten very complicated now. All this for something that CVS used to provide with just a single line in your source code!

I think part of the issue is that the svn_rev target is symbolic, so it's getting run whether you want it or not. There is a generated version of be_rev.c in the source package, however, the makefile isn't set to ignore errors when it runs revget.ex.

The answer, I think, is to craft the svn_rev target a little better so that it respects the without-euphoria configuration option.

I hacked Makefile.gnu so the svn_rev target looked like this,

svn_rev : 
        -hi hi hi $(EXE) -i ../include revget.ex -root $(ROOTDIR) 

And ran make. I got this,

hi hi hi eui -i ../include revget.ex -root /home/jbrown105/other/feu6 
make[1]: hi: Command not found 
make[1]: [svn_rev] Error 127 (ignored) 
making eui 

So I don't think revget is the issue. I went ahead and make this change,

svn_rev : 
        -/bin/sh -c "$(EXE) -i ../include revget.ex -root $(ROOTDIR);true" 

So svn_rev will always report success to make. Now I get this,

eui -i /home/jbrown105/other/feu6/include coverage.ex /home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source/intobj 
make[1]: eui: Command not found 
make[1]: *** [/home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source/intobj/back/coverage.h] Error 127 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source' 

I went ahead and hacked Makefile.gnu further,

$(BUILDDIR)/$(OBJDIR)/back/coverage.h : $(BUILDDIR)/$(OBJDIR)/main-.c $(BUILDDIR)/$(OBJDIR)/back 
ifeq "$(EUPHORIA)" "1" 
        $(EXE) -i $(TRUNKDIR)/include coverage.ex $(BUILDDIR)/$(OBJDIR) 
else 
        echo coverage.bin $(BUILDDIR)/$(OBJDIR) 
endif 

And now get this,

/bin/sh -c "eui -i ../include revget.ex -root /home/jbrown105/other/feu6;true" 
/bin/sh: eui: command not found 
echo coverage.bin /home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source/intobj 
coverage.bin /home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source/intobj 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source' 

make /home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source/eui OBJDIR=intobj EBSD= CONFIG=Makefile.eu EDEBUG=1 EPROFILE= 
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source' 

echo coverage.bin /home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source/intobj 
coverage.bin /home/jbrown105/other/feu6/source/intobj 
/bin/sh -c "eui -i ../include revget.ex -root /home/jbrown105/other/feu6;true" 
/bin/sh: eui: command not found 
making eui 

So it looks like coverage might be an issue for WITHOUT EUPHORIA, but that can be worked around. After these 2 changes, the build stops on a completely unrelated mess that I broke earlier in the week, so I think these should be enough to get a complete build working without eui.

Excluded the svn_rev dependency if without-euphoria was used (or if no eubins, and no eui on the path). Also, fixed configure script to enforce without-euphoria, even if there is an interpreter in the path.
