site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com I run the pkg makefiles. They work as expected.

I am building an mpkg. I have a makefile that (I hope) will build all the component packages and incorporate them in the mpkg build. Each pkg has its own directory, and its own makefile to build it. I run the mpkg makefile. It runs the pkg makefiles recursively (make - C subdirectory). It fails because the first make of a sub-pkg fails. PackageMaker prints "No package identifier specified," and exits. I have added to my pkg Makefile the commands 'pwd' and 'head ./ Info.plist'. They show the expected working directory, and the expected CFBundleIdentifier, in both the direct and recursive builds. An archived question on this topic pinned the problem down to omitting the -i parameter to PackageMaker. I have not omitted the -i parameter. My Info.plist was generated by Iceberg, and is unchanged. (And it works when the makefile is executed directly.) How can I correct this so that recursive makes of subpackages can proceed? # '+' commands are executed even when make's -n switch is set. # Omitting the '+'es has no effect on this problem. # Specifying -r -i and -d without the ./ prefix has no effect on the problem.
