Hi Paul, of course it is always good practice to avoid errors.
But nevertheless, sometimes it happens that I "do that", and then I'm always happy when I get a clear error message. Or even better, when something works as expected even when I did something unexpected. You are lucky if you never experienced such situations. In my case, even a simple line like $(DYNGEN): in Makefile.target would have made me happier. "make subdir-i386-softmmu" is ok for my application, configuring with --target-list=i386-softmmu is no solution though because I need mips-softmmu and mipsel-softmmu, too :-) Stefan Paul Brook schrieb: > On Sunday 15 April 2007 14:57, Stefan Weil wrote: >> This small patch for Makefile.target fixes a very special build issue: >> >> make distclean # (only needed to remove files left from earlier builds) >> ./configure >> make -C i386-softmmu # (or any other system emulation) >> >> will try to build the missing dyngen and fail because dyngen is >> normally build by the root Makefile. >> >> The patch adds a rule for dyngen which simply calls "make dyngen" in the >> root directory. > > I think "don't do that" is the most appropriate response to this problem. > It's certainly not something I'd like to commit to keeping working > long-term. > > Try "make subdir-i386-softmmu" if you really must do this. > Configuring with --target-list=i386-softmmu is a much better solution > though. > > Paul >
