Hi,
In jhalfs, there is a supposed guard against the possibility of using
a partially or totally populated $LFS system, unless we ask to
rebuild the Makefile or to clean $LFS:
----------------
if [[ "$REBUILD_MAKEFILE" = "n" ]] ; then
# If $BUILDDIR has subdirectories like tools/ or bin/, stop the run
# and notify the user about that.
if [ -d $BUILDDIR/tools -o -d $BUILDDIR/bin ] && [ -z $CLEAN ] ; then
eval "$no_empty_builddir"
fi
---------------
However "no_empty_builddir" is a function (defined in
common/common-functions),
so that this guard does nothing. Seems to date back r3087, when jhalfs
was imported
from experimental.
Actually, I am happy that it does not work. It allows me to restart a
build after
a failure, just at the point where it failed, after modifying something
which is not
necessary just Makefile.
So I wanted to ask:
Do we correct the bug, or do we suppress the guard
Regards,
Pierre
