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 about 1 month 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.
