Dependency file .deps/dump.Tpo not found

[Dale Preston]

I'm trying to install jansson 2.12 on Raspbian for use with asterisk.  apt-get for raspbian installs 2.9 but asterisk requires 2.11 or later.  When I try to build from source make fails.  The actual error message says permission denied but I'm running make as root and I know the file is not there - in fact, there's no .deps directory.  The problem is it's missing, not permissions.  Any suggestions or steps I am missing?

I downloaded jansson 2.11 and went through the same steps.  I was able to build and install 2.11 successfully.  asterisk 16 requires jansson 2.11 or higher so I am good for now but I will follow the thread and help with any testing to fix the 2.12 bug.  If I can get it to build I'll upgrade my installation.
