I'm packaging Nagios. It builds tree packages from one source:
'nagios-text', 'nagios-pgsql' and 'nagios-mysql'. The differences
is quite obvious: Compile the source three times, each time with
different ./configure options.
The problem I'm facing is that I want to 'scratch' the source
after each build. Actually: build first package, move it aside,
build second package - move it aside etc.
This because the build should be done as non-root, and the install
as root.
The problem is in the 'target depends' of the Makefile (debian/rules
in this case). A test makefile:
----- s n i p -----
file3: file1-stamp
@echo "3. In file3..."
file2:
@echo "2. Removing file1-stamp"
@rm file1-stamp
file1: file1-stamp
file1-stamp:
@echo "1. Touching file1-stamp"
@touch file1-stamp
test: file1 file2 file3
@echo "4. In test..."
----- s n i p -----
gives this output:
----- s n i p -----
tuzjfi:/tmp# make test
1. Touching file1-stamp
2. Removing file1-stamp
3. In file3...
4. In test...
----- s n i p -----
I _EXPECTED_:
----- s n i p -----
tuzjfi:/tmp# make test
1. Touching file1-stamp
2. Removing file1-stamp
1. Touching file1-stamp
3. In file3...
4. In test...
----- s n i p -----
The key point was that there was no second point 1 (Touching file1-stamp).
Since the 'file1-stamp' file where removed, I had expected 'make' to
re-create it! It doesn't...
Any one have any idea?
