Interesting about Unsuccessful "make"

Then we purchased a new MAC Mini for our group, and this one comes with OS 10.4.5. I downloaded the latest CUPS code version, namely cups-1.2rcl. Unfortunately, I'm running again into a compilation error after the "make" command, and it's got to do with the same missing file of the first time. Here's the complete text describing the error:

It's interesting to see what I'm getting after following the recommendation of running an additional "make". At first, I thought I was getting the same exact error, but when I carefully read the error text, I realized the error was different the second time. The file about which the architecture couldn't be figured out was not the same. Then I kept running many "make"s, and everytime the file was different. Here's a few lines that I extracted from my command window:

lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/tmp//ccXoQkEF.out
lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/tmp//ccEFr51B.out
lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/tmp//ccBxtjYq.out

lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/tmp//ccA2RMIu.out
lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/tmp//cc3UE43p.out

Each of those lines was extracted from the error message obtained after running the "make" command.

I'm wondering whether I should keep running "make" commands and expect that at some point the CUPS code will finally be able to compile or maybe I should look for these errors source somewhere else.


What do you guys think?

Thanks a lot!,

Alvaro.
