[Tmk-devel] bug? .libspec file is not updated by tmk depend

[Hitoshi Y. <hi...@mp...>]

Hi, tmker, 

Maybe this is a bug: tmk depend does not update *.libspec file.

Recently I have got some questions that tmk's link information remains
somewhere and can not change that information.

This comes from that: tmk generates *.libspec file when a compiling
directory has files which do not contain main(). This libspec file is
not updated when run `tmk depend.' Once someone adds the link::PROJLIB
line to TMakefile, and later the one removes that entry, still tmk
tries to link these transitive libraries.

Most of the case, this does not cause a problem, since some source
files are updated and a new shared lib is created, then libspec file
is also updated.

However, e.g, other project is updated and link status is changed
(e.g., the library does not exist anymore), tmk fail to link that
since the libspec file is not updated. In this case `tmk clean' solves
the problem, but it is not so good to recompile a whole project.

It is better `tmk depend' update this libspec file or remove the
libspec file. Or, maybe `tmk libclean', which clean all the libraries
and libspec files, is one easy solution.

I think this is not so urgent matter, so I will just report this as a
bug.
