No rule to make target `../libiff/libiff.la', needed by `iffjoin'.

When attempting to build on macOS I get the following error after typing make:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target ../libiff/libiff.la', needed by iffjoin'. Stop.

Hi @warpdesign,

Have you been able to compile libiff on macOS? I am getting:

Making all in iffjoin gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"libiff\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"libiff\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"-n\ 0.1\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"libiff\ -n\ 0.1\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"libiff\" -DVERSION=\"-n\ 0.1\" -DHAVE_STDIO_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DLT_OBJDIR=\".libs/\" -I. -DHAVE_GETOPT_H=1 -I../libiff -g -O2 -MT iffjoin-join.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/iffjoin-join.Tpo -c -o iffjoin-join.o test -f 'join.c' || echo './'join.c mv -f .deps/iffjoin-join.Tpo .deps/iffjoin-join.Po /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -I../libiff -g -O2 -o iffjoin iffjoin-main.o iffjoin-join.o ../libiff/libiff.la libtool: link: gcc -I../libiff -g -O2 -o .libs/iffjoin iffjoin-main.o iffjoin-join.o ../libiff/.libs/libiff.dylib false --output=iffjoin.1 --no-info --name 'Joins an arbitrary number of IFF files into a single concatenation IFF file' --libtool ./iffjoin make[2]: *** [iffjoin.1] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

and I do not really understand what's wrong. I can see the "false" which seems to be the issue. Any idea?
