In addition, profile-opt would have to rewritten to test whether there's already an interpreter built with PGO. And if there is, regenerate it only if the main target is `all` or `profile-opt`, but not when someone runs `make test`, `make install`, etc. It's maybe too radical, but we could change it so that if you run `make test`, `make install` and the like and there's no interpreter built already to test or install, the user is told to run `make` first. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29243> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
