#453 Circular dependancies in Utils

[Mike Keith]

Maybe I'm doing something dumb, but I can't seem to compile psrchive anymore because the Util/genutil library code depends on the Util/fft code so won't build, but also the Util/fft code depends on Util/genutil so if I swap the order of building it also doesn't seem to work.

First it complains of the headers missing - and if I copy the headers to local_include manually then building Utils/fft reports

make: *** No rule to make target `../../Util/genutil/libgenutil.la', needed by `fft_speed'.  Stop.

and similarly a problem looking for libfft.la when linking getMJD if we build genutil first.

make[4]: *** No rule to make target `../../Util/fft/libpsrfft.la', needed by `getMJD'.  Stop.

I think I can get it to work with some trickery... I'll update if I work it out.

Hi Mike,

Sorry about that. I fixed this bug somewhere, but I think that I must have done it on a branch.

I'll merge that branch into the main trunk now ...

Cheers,
Willem

ok. I've merged the branch with the fix (amongst other things) into the main branch and pushed the merged master back to sf git.

Awesome, thanks willem, can confirm that this builds ok now!
