I think there is one benefit from having a new, empty directory for building release versions. You can be certain that the build will not include files left over from previous development work. BOINC's Unix build system has a bug that allows one to, for example, compile a new version of client and link it with an older version of libboinc. Been there, done that and it took a while to figure out while the client is crashing in a place where it possibly couldn't crash. -Juha _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu https://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
