How annoying is this? I agree that the output is annoying, but I quite like seeing them in the makefiles. I mean, look at this: > - $(buildscript-dir)/output-distance --create-images --output-dir > $(RESULT_DIR) input/regression/out-test-baseline input/regression/out-test/ > + $(buildscript-dir)/output-distance --create-images --output-dir > $(RESULT_DIR) input/regression/out-test-baseline input/regression/out-test is out-test a file or a directory? I mean, output-distance could be writing a logfile called "out-test". IMO, removing all the extra slashes means that the makefiles are slightly less readable, and requires slightly more familiarity and memorization of the build process. of course, the whole thing is a mess anyway, so you could argue that it doesn't matter if we make it messier. *shrug* It's something we can (and should) avoid if we ever reach a critical mass of developers sufficiently fed up with the current build system that we can realistically create a new one, but until then, my instinct is to leave it alone.
