MySQL make -version is not working in HP-UX
hello everyone,

I had a HP-UX, i am trying to find the make version ,but it is displaying the error i.e
make -v
Make: Unknown flag argument v. Stop.
make -version
Make: Unknown flag argument v. Stop.
make --version
Make: Unknown flag argument -. Stop.
make -V
Make: Unknown flag argument V. Stop.


but actually make is existing in the path
/usr/bin/make


in the same machine gmake also got installed and it is displaying the version.

gmake -v

Old software often does not support a --version option. Try look at the binary with strings | less or if you have a what command, run that on the binary (meaning the file /usr/bin/make).

Hi,
i suppose you are using the older version of make,use a newer version like above 3.9, you can find in hp site new make of higher version, take the source code or depot file and install it

or search in /usr/local/bin you may have a higher version make inside.it is always better to use the newer one, there exist some noticeable behavioral changes in the older and the newer one.

Best Regards,
Rakesh UV
