Bug #1795
Makefile problem: needlessly relinks CoCoAInterpreter
Description
Assuming that CoCoAInterpreter
is already compiled (and up-to-date).
Running make check
in directory src/CoCoA-5/
causes CoCoAInterpreter
to be relinked.
This is not helpful (but probably also not harmful).
Fix it!
History
#1 Updated by John Abbott 4 months ago
I vaguely recall Anna asking for an improvement to the Makefile
structure; I do not really recall why.
I also recall that my attempt to resolve the problem did not work, but maybe I did not properly clean up afterwards?
Anyway, the problem exists (even if it is not so harmful); so it should be rectified.
Maybe the problem was running make CoCoAInterpreter
in src/CoCoA-5/
did not notice when a CoCoALib
source file had been changed...?
I'm poring over the output of make -n CoCoAInterpreter
, and not understanding what purpose lib/timestamp
serves...

I think I have corrected the error. Must do more checking.
