sdk_oo/pack/copying/makefile.mk contains recipes like:
$(DESTDIRDOCU)$/DevelopersGuide$/DevelopersGuide.pdf : DevelopersGuide.pdf
+-$(MKDIRHIER) $(@:d)
+-rm -f $@ >& $(NULLDEV)
$(MY_COPY) DevelopersGuide.pdf $(DESTDIRDOCU)$/DevelopersGuide
With MY_COPY being defined in sdk_oo/util/makefile.pmk as
MY_COPY=$(GNUCOPY) -u
-u option in gnu cp is:
"copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination file or when
the destination file is missing"
Given that the destination file just was forcely removed, this check is
superfluous.
Additionally, this seems (so far) to be the only place wher gnucp is actually
required. Everything else works as well with bsd cp (read: the standard cp on
mac)
If nobody objects, I'll make this regular $(CP) calls in cloph04.
If you want to really use the existence/newer than check, then don't use "gnucp
-u", but the "$^" placeholder in the recipe. (don't do the makesystem's job
yourself)
