Hello All,
To build petsc from anywhere I always use “make libs”, but I recently
discovered that this makes a $PETSC_ARCH/ folder in the current directory that
includes tests/testfiles. Testfiles is completely empty, and doesn’t seem to do
anything. I’ve been spamming this around my machine over the past few months,
resulting in A LOT of these arch folders littered around the place.
I’m wondering if this is not a bug in the make recipe? Should it be
${PETSC_DIR}/${PETSC_ARCH}/tests/testfiles instead of
./${PETSC_ARCH}/tests/testfiles?
libs: ${PETSC_DIR}/${PETSC_ARCH}/lib/petsc/conf/files
./${PETSC_ARCH}/tests/testfiles <-------------------------------
+@cd ${PETSC_DIR} && MAKEFLAGS="-j$(MAKE_NP) -l$(MAKE_LOAD)
$(MAKEFLAGS)" ${OMAKE_PRINTDIR} -f gmakefile ${MAKE_PAR_OUT_FLG} V=${V} libs
Best regards,
