Description:
Make fails here:

Making all in mysql-test
make: don't know how to make std_data/client-key.pem. Stop
*** Error code 1

Stop in /............/mysql-4.1.11/mysql-test.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /............/mysql-4.1.11.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /............/mysql-4.1.11.

How to repeat:
configure, and make

Just for information, I have exactly the same bug on OpenBSD 3.6.

I have found a build 4.1.11 only for OpenBSD 3.7. Is anyone know which configure parameters where used?

I can't reproduce this on FreeBSD 5.3, building 4.1.11 from source works just fine.

Can you please check whether the file ./mysql-test/std_data/client-key.pem
is present after unpacking the source tarball and whether it is still there after
make failed?

I have encourntered the same error during compilation of the mysql-test part on the till date latest release of the 4.1-branch 4.1.12 on a HP-UX system.

Regarding verification of the existance of the file "mysql-test/std_data/client-cert.pem" prior and after the compilation error is encountered, i have checked that this is not true for the latter. So for some reason, the file is being discarded during make.

Below is the actual end error.

Making all in mysql-test
Make: Don't know how to make std_data/client-cert.pem.  Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

I havnt yet investigated what happens.

Cracked it.

Those files are test certificates found in the SSL sub-directory.  Just copy them accross to std_data.

Sorry lack of precision in my last report. 

OS: OpenBSD 3.7 
Mysql: 4.1.12 from source of course

All the comments (mentioned FreeBSD and OpenBSD, error messages of the failing build) makes me think that a BSD make is a key here.

Hartmut could you try it with both GNU make and BSD make and see if it makes any difference ?

No error on FreeBSD 4.11 (gmake), but it does error on NetBSD as well (make).  Sorry I don't have gmake on NetBSD, first box I've ever built using that OS (test platform for a client).

The complete solution to get around the bug is:

cp SSL/*.pem mysql-test/std_data

then make again and all is well.
