make: unknown option -- jobserver-auth=gmake_semaphore_172 when using post-build steps

[rmyorston]

is this enough?

Yes, that should be fine.

[fanghuaqi]

@fanghuaqi, please try the latest windows-build-tools release, v4.4.1-2.

Hi @ilg-ul , it works well now, thanks for the update.

[fanghuaqi]

Fixed by windows-build-tools release, v4.4.1-2, close it.

[fanghuaqi]

Hi, we tested that, if we change back the windows build tools to 4.3.0-1, not using 4.4.0 or later, this issue will be solved, as I can see, it seems, make version changed from 4.3 to 4.4.

Thanks

[ilg-ul]

According to some reports, make 4.4 may have problems. As a workaround, use 4.3.

[fanghuaqi]

Okay, thanks. Will use 4.3

[fanghuaqi]

Sorry @ilg-ul , it is not caused by make version change, it seems caused by the busybox utils version update . I used make version 4.4, and busybox 4.3.0, it works.

[ilg-ul]

Thank you, I'll investigate, perhaps there is a new busybox release that fixes this.

[ilg-ul]

For completeness, could you also test v4.4.0-1?

[fanghuaqi]

Same issue happened. @ilg-ul

I even tried with latest https://frippery.org/busybox/ , same issue happened. I think maybe busybox changed something

BusyBox v1.37.0-FRP-5181-g5c1a3b00e (2023-08-18 12:14:59 BST)

Also tried with old releases of busybox, tested https://frippery.org/files/busybox/ that busybox-w32-FRP-4716-g31467ddfc.exe is the last workable version.

This is the first not workable version https://frippery.org/busybox/release-notes/FRP-4784.html changelog.

Thanks

[ilg-ul]

Thank you!

I suggest you report this to upstream busybox.

[rmyorston]

Since FRP-4784 busybox-w32 has included a make applet. From the errors reported it looks as though this is being used when GNU make was intended.

It's possible to override the busybox-w32 shell's preference for the internal make by setting an environment variable: BB_OVERRIDE_APPLETS=make.

[ilg-ul]

Thank you, Ron.

Is there any configuration option to disable the applet?

[rmyorston]

The make applet can be disabled at build time with the CONFIG_MAKE option. The applet also has the alias pdpmake, controlled by the CONFIG_PDPMAKE build-time option, but that shouldn't be a problem.

[ilg-ul]

@rmyorston, I disabled two variables in the configuration file:

sed -i.bak \
       -e 's|^CONFIG_MAKE=y|# CONFIG_MAKE is not set|' \
       -e 's|^CONFIG_PDPMAKE=y|# CONFIG_PDPMAKE is not set|' \
       configs/mingw64_defconfig

is this enough?

[ilg-ul]

@fanghuaqi, please try the latest windows-build-tools release, v4.4.1-2.
