Hi,
The top-level Makefile does this:
all: mkdir-init local-all
Where mkdir-init creates the directory structure in the build tree, and
local-all actually compiles.
Normally, GNU Make will run mkdir-init first and then local-all, so the build
tree directories are created and then the code compiled. However, the
dependency list is not ordered list, and passing —shuffle to make (new in GNU
Make 4.4, I believe) will cause it to re-order the lists randomly, which
results in the code being compiled _before_ the directories to contain the
objects have been created.
I’m working around this by changing the all: target as follows:
all: mkdir-init
$(MAKE) local-all
Which is pretty ugly and only solves the problem for people calling `make` or
`make all` directly. Someone doing out-of-tree builds and invoking `make
fsmod-lib` from a clean build tree would still have failures.
A better solution would be to move the mkdir from a top-level target to
explicitly inside each target.
Cheers
Ross
