I have a clue now why the install of felix doesn't work right: the dependencies are represented by current directly relative filenames. for example after
flx --test=build/release ... they're like this: dep file = build/release/lib/std dep file = build/release/lib/std/__init__ dep file = build/release/lib/plat/filename dep file = build/release/lib/plat/config dep file = build/release/lib/std/cxx_headers dep file = build/release/lib/std/c_headers dep file = build/release/lib/std/flx_tclass dep file = build/release/lib/std/order dep file = build/release/lib/std/algebraic dep file = build/release/lib/std/flx_ctypes dep file = build/release/lib/plat/ctypedefs So if I install everything *including* std.libtab, then when I change anything in build/release, even flx ... will force a rebuild. ~/felix>touch build/release/lib/std/version.flx ~/felix>flx --test=../felix/build/release --force -c frd .... Binding libary std binding library std done Exports = 0 ~/felix>flx --test=../felix/build/release --force -c frd dep file = ../felix/build/release/lib/std dep file = ../felix/build/release/lib/std/__init__ .... It's ugly! The dep file is not only current directory relative, it also doesn't "move" with installation. For the std lib this is easy enough to fix: just store the pathnames relative to the FLX_INSTALL_DIR. But this won't work for 3PLs which are in fixed places outside the install, such as /usr/local/lib/mylib.
