Do you mean making the toplevel targets depend on each other, or also in each module? If this is meant to be also for all modules, wouldn't this possibly still miss some problems? I.e. if e.g. sw links the i18npool library, does or does not sw depend on i18npool/ build target? If sw depends only on the library itself, then localedata_en still might not be built by the time sw unittests are run (in this example sw is far too late after i18npool for this to be realistic, but consider whatever is more realistic). Requiring everything be built before running any checks would avoid the problem, but I doubt anybody would want to rebuild everything just in order to run checks in sal/ . So unless the first case would work reliably, there does not seem to be any way other than finding all such dependencies, as much as doing that is painful, with such problems being random race conditions. > Or do people use make check with demand to build only what is > necessary for tests and nothing more ? I would expect that most of what the build target builds in each module is already a prerequisite for the module's checks (and it'd definitely be so in an ideal world where everything is tested). -- Lubos Lunak l.lu...@suse.cz _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
