| Description | If you get the name of the variety wrong when building the MPS, then the output is misleading: $ make -f xci3gc.gmk VARIETY=HOT xci3gc: xci3gc/HOT/abqtest Undefined symbols for architecture i386: "_ABQInit", referenced from: _main in abqtest.o "_ABQIterate", referenced from: _step in abqtest.o "_ABQPop", referenced from: _step in abqtest.o "_ABQPush", referenced from: _step in abqtest.o "_mps_arena_class_vm", referenced from: _main in abqtest.o "_mps_arena_create", referenced from: _main in abqtest.o "_mps_lib_assert_fail_install", referenced from: _main in abqtest.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [xci3gc/HOT/abqtest] Error 1 make: *** [abqtest] Error 2 See the manual [1] for documentation of the varieties. |
| Analysis | It should be an error if VARIETY is defined but not equal to "rash", "hot", or "cool". |
| How found | manual_test |
