Hi. I have a document building process which gets its data from a CVS and then autoconf/configure/make...
The CVS command I'm using produces 2 log files. The first (cvs1.log) contains all the directory names. The second (cvs2.log) contains the actual changes to the local files. What I want to do is not proceed with a nearly 3 hour make when the amount of changes is small. By small I mean less than 50 files changed. Also, if one from a specific set of files has changed then the make must go ahead. If the make is NOT to go ahead, then the current cvs2.log is to be kept and appended to the next time round, so eventually 50 files WILL have changed and off we go. I know next to nothing about Cygwin, so please be nice. Where do I start? Thank you, Richard Quadling. -- ----- Fight back spam!
