==> captcha
make: don't know how to make |. Stop

make: stopped making "all" in /home/feld/git/personal/pleroma/deps/captcha

weird error eh?

the Makefile looks like this:

CFLAGS ?= -g

HEADERS = src/colors.h src/font.h

all: priv/captcha

priv:
        mkdir -p priv

priv/captcha: src/captcha.c $(HEADERS) | priv
        $(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) -std=c99 $(CFLAGS) -o priv/captcha src/captcha.c $(LDFLAGS) $(LDLIBS)

.PHONY: clean
clean:
        rm -f priv/captcha $(BEAM_FILES)

that pipe character on the priv/captcha: line is the culprit. This appears to be valid GNU make syntax but not BSD? If I remove the pipe it lets me build it. This started happening after the recent change to get off the git deps. The old upstream Makefile is different: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davidqhr/elixir-captcha/refs/heads/master/Makefile

CFLAGS= -g

HEADER_FILES = src
SOURCE_FILES = src/captcha.c

OBJECT_FILES = $(SOURCE_FILES:.c=.o)

priv/captcha: clean priv $(OBJECT_FILES)
	mkdir -p priv
	$(CC) -I $(HEADER_FILES) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJECT_FILES) $(LDLIBS)

clean:
	rm -f priv/captcha $(OBJECT_FILES) $(BEAM_FILES)
