Puhhh. Well I do like that advice! So I can go on....can I ;-) > BTW, why would you run make several times? Do you understand what's > happening when you run make? As far as I can judge it "make"s gcc compiling the desired programs. This compiling may include failers, but I cannot know which ones, I am not a specialist in programming c. It also includes a kind of configuration sometimes, also by this failures can happen. Make check sometimes print lists in some *out files or it doesn't. Then it stops with Error in the process of that make, which made the failure and than the other outer-make-processes are stopped. Starting make check again mostly the files are filled with lists so by and by all complaints are not existent any longer. I think, these *out files are checked by other make-processes for no make has to be made, because the files were already compiled propperly. As far as I can judge as a complete beginner.
