The first problem is the one mentioned yesterday: Even if you increase the version number (1.4.3 => 1.4.4), version.o is not recompiled.
The problem is that version.C only depends on version.C.in so it will not be updated as long as version.C.in is untouched. I have let such files depend on config.h and fix the problem. Note that fast_start=yes has to be used to update config.h, and then version.C. As a matter of fact, the more I think about this fast_start option, the more it feels barely useful. It is against the role of automatic dependency check of scons and causes more trouble than convenience, and it does not even speed up scons much since all test results are cached. If there is no objection, I will remove this option this weekend. Still look at the DESTDIR problem. Cheers, Bo
