[Assimp-discussions] Error building on Linux after change 537

[Brad G. <gra...@pl...>]

Hi!

We were just messing with our code here and checked out the assimp tree on a
new machine.

Assimp change #537 introduces a new "install" target in code/makefile (which
is nice) but also makes the "static" target dependent on a target called
"name_static".  The "name_static" target isn't defined in the Makefile, so
"make static" fails with this error:

    make: *** No rule to make target `name_static', needed by `static'.
Stop.

We already have a makefile we put in the root directory which has an
"install" target, and that target builds "all" and "static", which is why we
saw it.

Our group prefers to provide a suggestion, rather than just report a
problem, but we don't know what the intent was here, so all we can report is
that "make static" no longer works.  (Right now we're just removing that
dependency from the Makefile as a workaround.)

In any case, thanks again for the library.  We've been using it for a while
to load .off and .ply files.  At
http://plunk.org/~grantham/private/images/urt_497/ , we have a table of
images generated from our interactive raytracer.  The Stanford Armadillo and
the Ramses statue were loaded using ASSIMP!
