pgj opened a new pull request, #4861: URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/4861
The `./dev/run` script requires a boot script to be compiled which assumes a completed build of the source tree. If this did not happen, the script fails to work and CouchDB cannot be started up. The failure of the boot script's compilation by itself does not necessarily help to understand the reason, so enhance it with a suggestion for the user. ## Testing recommendations The behavior should change when one tries to run the `./dev/run` script without calling `make`. This can also be simulated by running `make devclean` and `make clean` if the source have already been build before. This intended to be an improvement for the developer experience, it should not break anything. Instead, there shall be less confusion around this unhappy case. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
