After another couple of days trying to get a working compile, I realized that I could use some survival skills. A few basic questions:
Can I run ./configure over and over again without any kind of backout?
Yep.
If make fails, do I need to run make clean before running make again?
No need.
Distclean is for creating a situation in which you can be sure there aren't any compilation dependant files lift in the source tree. So if nothing has compiled yet, make distclean doesn't do much.When do you run make distclean? I tried it and it didn't do anything.
For mopst of them it just a matter of looking if the appropriate library is installed in the right directory, and (when you want to compile something against it) also make sure the header files are in the right place.
Are there any tests to make sure that plib, metakit, and zlib are installed correctly?
If I am starting over, do I have to redo metakit and zlib if their installs worked fine?
Certainly not.
If the build system is still in tact (you haven't done a 'make (dist)clean'), it's as easy as 'make uninstall'.
Is it enough to delete the directories created during the installs in order to start over, or do I need to hunt down the binaries and delete them as well? If so, is there a list of files to hunt?
