[Orca-users] orca 0.27 make error on Solaris 9

I saw the exact same problem with the winallator part of the install.

The reason it's happening is that $BIN_TARGETS ends up being set to "  " 
(double space), since there are no binary targets for Winallator.  The 
"install" rule tests "$BIN_TARGETS", but since that evaluates to spaces, 
'test' ends up getting no arguments, so "sh" complains that the ";" 
showed up too soon.

I fixed this by changing the test to compare against a string with two 
spaces in it.  I also had to put a 'placeholder' in the for loop, called 
'foo', which will probably break if BIN_TARGETS actually gets set to 
something. 

Take the attachment, copy it to the winallator directory (or somewhere 
else, if you like) and run:

    cd <orca snapshot path>/data_gatherers/winallator
    patch < winallator-makefile-patch.txt


Just in case the attachment doesn't work, here's the diff -c:

PS - in a very similar setup to what you have, I now have winallator 
crunching through 12 Windows server perfmon logs.  But I had to make a 
lot of adjustments to SourceFile.pm, the orca perl script, and my 
winallator.cfg file to get those Windows perfmon logs to be handled 
nicely.  There are all sorts of quirks, like integers where floats 
should be (modified SourceFile.pm to convert integers to floats as they 
are read), blank fields (" " - modified SourceFile.pm to convert blank 
fields to 0.0), and ^M's throwing off field headers (added a "chomp" 
line and a tr line in SourceFile.pm to clean these off).

Let me know if you want to see the diffs of those changes.  I'm still 
cleaning up / verifying, so I don't want to post them right now.

Good luck!
