there is dependency tracking for included files in the build system. if you remove or rename an included file, then this can happen. you can then manually regenerate the dependencies via "build depend=t". in current milestones depend=t is broken; as a workaround just delete $INPATH/misc/* in the offending module (INPATH is e.g. unxlngi6.pro/wntmsci12). > T rebuild, I am changing directory to the MODULE I'm altering, then doing > the following, as specified in the "compatible build" section of the > "building on windows" help: > build --from MODULE --prepare > build && deliver > > Please can someone help, I have not succeeded in making a single compilable > change to the source code yet! > > Many thanks, > > Richard regards, michael -- >From the Plan 9 FAQ: Q: Where did the name come from?
