Hi Brandon,

It works on IRIX with GNU make
It doesn't works on IRIX with /sbin/make

/sbin/make will works if you remove all the "DESTDIR =" line from the Makefile.

The Makefile.in in amanda are build with automake-1.4, you could
try with a more recent release off automake.

The package you successfully build use which release of automake?
