Yes. I have been thinking about whether there's a better solution than just not showing the paths, but I can just drop the path list for now. > * Using parallel make, ie `make -j 8` doesn't work from the new > top-level Makefile. Will fix. I think this is just a matter of use $(MAKE) from the top-level Makefile. > * Even though unix systems don't use them, the extra libraries are > downloaded and packaged up on unix platforms while building. I think you're referring to the `server' Makefile target, which is intended for a build process where the libraries will be needed by clients. In any case, the process for dealing with native libraries will likely change/improve when we have those packages available from a catalog server. > * I think it's possible to confuse the local catalog by moving > directories around in the `pkg` directory. Definitely. You have to rebuild the local catalog after moving things around. > * `make local-catalog` is not incremental -- it always re-downloads > and re-packs the external libraries. True. As with the preceding two bullets, this can improve as we figure out how we want to work. _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
