> I believe that the issue is the the ZDS-II toolchain assembly files have the extension .asm but when you compile a .c file it generates a temporary .asm file that is then assembled. When compile a foobar.c file with the ZDS-II toolchain, it generates foobar.asm, foobar.rel, foobar.obj, and foobar.lst. The .asm file is the only issue here because it is also the name used with all ZDS-II assembly file. > > So /.asm must appear in all ZDS-II build directories but cannot appear in a higher level directory. Just removing .asm from the top-level .gitignore file means that all of these .asm files (and there are hundreds) will all appear as untracked files. That makes those configurations difficult to use. > Your description isn't self-consistent: 1.If git ignore *.asm, git can't track the manual written assembler files. 2.If git don't ignore *.asm, the generated assembler files mess up the directory. > This is a consequence of people making unnecessary change code when they do not understand the full ramifications and do absolutely no testing. it isn't good to duplicate .gitignore in each folder(I never see other project to use .gitignore like this). @patacongo since only you are familar with z80 arch and actively change the code in arch/z80 and boards/z80, please take some time to improve the build system to cover z80. This is only way to ensure z80 quality. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
