Maybe I should save up all my notes for one large email.
Has any thought been put into being able to restart a package's build where it left off rather than from the beginning?
The problem with "restart from the beginning" is evident when using 028-binutils-pass1 as an example. It won't work because binutils-build already exists and "make" aborts.
Restarting 'make' like this should ideally remove the current partial build (binutils-build and binutils-version) directories and start over with unpacking, etc.
This is probably less of an issue with packages that don't require the use of -build directories so there's no actual command that will fail when it is run a second time.
That, or change all mkdir's to mkdir -p -- Gerard Beekmans /* If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem */ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
