Makefile:33: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax

在Ubuntu 18.04上编译一个以前的模块，发现会报错误信息

Makefile:33: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.

原因

系统的make工具太新，make的旧版规则已经无法兼容新版。

解决方法

修改makefile里面的规则，例如

-   config %config: scripts_basic outputmakefile FORCE
+   %config: scripts_basic outputmakefile FORCE

---

解决方法二

考虑到有其他模块可能也会有旧版的make规则，于是决定降级make版本到3.81（当前版本为4.1）

$ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.81.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf make-3.81.tar.gz
$ cd make-3.81
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

编译 make-3.81 的时候如果碰到编译问题 - undefined reference to `__alloca’
请参考http://gnu-make.2324884.n4.nabble.com/undefined-reference-to-alloca-td18308.html

降级后重新登陆 Ubuntu 18 后可以看到 make 版本已经变成 3.81
