Hi Greg, I mistyped the above. The 'package' target always does a clean install, not a clean build. It is safe to assume that a built build tree is correct but it is not safe to assume that an installed install tree is correct because it may have some artefacts that are no longer installed so should not be packaged. BTW I suspect you are looking at this all from an incorrect premiss i.e. that a build tree's normal state is 'clean'. That is not right, a build tree's normal state should be built with a few sources out of date, make then works optimally by only every building the exact minimum needed to bring the build tree back up to date. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
