I am glad that a different bug already exists for the install process. > Doing the "touch" operation in configure rather than buildconf would mean... > drumroll... modifying files in the source directory during a build, which was > I believe what you are trying to avoid :) True, but attempting to modify the timestamp is less annoying than attempting to modify the contents. That said, could we please at the very least _least_ make these targets fail gracefully instead, just by sticking a '-' in front of the commands they execute? This way, the build process will Do The Right Thing; - if timestamps arent skewed, no problem - if timestamps are skewed, - if files are read-write, and you have flex/yacc, no problem - if you don't have flex/yacc, the commands will obviously fail, but at least you still have the old copies of these files - if files are read-only, the commands will obviously fail, but at least you still have the old copies of these files I'm also curious why the logic to build the .l/.y files is in this Makefile, since rules.mk also includes it's own rules, and I don't see any other .y or .l files in the apache distribution. But I guess that's another story. :) -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
