Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Question about config changes with make build

[William G. <dl-...@gm...>]

Alright, Alright, Alright, I RTFM but I just wasn't smart enough to put it together.  I now realized that there are tmp/.done_* files that I much delete to have make perform what I want.

But now my question is, why is it done this way instead of depending upon the traditional make functionality for controlling this.  I am sure that someone thought this out before implementing and I want to make sure that understand the advantages.

Thanks,

William

===================================

At last, I finally have a build of the CVS working on Fedora.  While I don't know what I did wrong before, it works now.

But, now I have a new problem.  I just completed a build using the defaul config file.  In order to test making incremental changes and compiling.  I ran make menuconfig and added selected the binutils.  When I run make build, within a few seconds, the build is finished; but, binutils is not compiled.  The time stamp on .config is newer than it was before.  So I am guessing that I am missing some step (read trick :) ). 

Any advice will be appreciated.

Cheers,

William
