After applying 9.1.1841 to 9.1.1843, Wayland-related "no rule to make target" when building Normal or Tiny WITHOUT Wayland

(the "myconfig" file shown above has been previously "sourced" to
configure the Vim Normal build which is the only one built in this
shell instance; Tiny builds ought to be built with -wayland because
they are Tiny)

If I try "make reconfig" the very first module (alloc.c) fails to
build because "auto/osdef.h : No such file or directory". It seems
that some required dependencies have been removed in the latest
Makefile update.

The only builds which _do_ build are the Huge builds with GTK3 (with
or without Perl, Python, etc.)

Best regards,
Tony.

please try explicitly with --with-wayland as configure switch.

Thanks,
Christian

I will — whan "make reconfig" will not error anymore on a missing auto/osdef.h

Best regards,
Tony.

P.S. After changing --without-wayland to --with-wayland then "make
reconfig" (which errors out after the end of the configure phase) then
"make auto/pathdef.h" then "make" I still get the same error for the
same missing Wayland module. It looks like there is some magic in my
"Huge with GTK3" builds which makes them build without the need to
specify either --with-wayland or --without-wayland.

[Tony Mechelynck]

P.S. The following works, but requires putting hands into the grease:
1. change --without-wayland to --with-wayland in the configure parameters
2. make reconfig (which configures then errors out)
3. make auto/osdef.h
4. make (which errors out on a missing wayland file. Maybe unnecessary.)
5. make -C auto/wayland
6. make
7. make installvimbin (N.B. the install of runtime files, symlinks,
etc. is done after building my workhouse Huge build)

Best regards,
Tony.
