Comment #1 on issue 1810 by [email protected]: Make bin/bin-clean
problem
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1810
It's because it is not clear what we expect from "bin" target. "make help"
says "check the lily directory and rebuild lilypond.exe if needed",
so "bin" is intended to be requested for a rebuild, not a clean build.
I propose to choose among the following:
1) prepend "make help" message with "[rebuild only]". This does not really
fix the issue, though.
2) remove "bin" target.
3) extend "bin" target so it builds everything that is needed to run
out/bin/lilypond.
As the most ressource consuming tasks in "make all" are building lilypond
binary and building fonts, and the latter is necessary to the former, I
vote for 2): people that want to rebuild after a build and changes to C++
code can go for "make all" which is not significantly longer than "make
bin" in this case.
