Hi Simon, > Could you explain why the directory changes so often (i.e. what are you > trying to do?)?
Sure. Using perforce you get loads of directories -- the number of branched directories times the number of branches. As each branch first contains the branchpoints Makefile.am, I try to remove the branch name dependency from the Makefile.am and put it into an WORK_BRANCH environment variable. That saves me from editing a big number of Makefiles on each and every branch. Building all Makefiles is also hard since the number of directories is steadily increasing. At the moment I try an approach with symlinks and a bit of shell script magic that looks good so far. I will give it the first real world test today. Nadine
