Q: I've been beating my head against similar issues over the past couple of weeks. It seems like if I hard code a dependency, such as 'zlib' instead of '$(ZLIB_LIBRARY), then the make.d/*.rul that references that library always rebuilds from source. If I replace the hard coded dependency with the variable, then I sometimes do not build from source when I *should* -- like when I touch the tarball. I'm thinking... in the main tarball there's an include make.d/*.rul Are we suffering from referencing variables before they're used? That is, zlib.rul gets included after darn near everything else... so is putting any reference to a variable defined in zlib.rul a waste of time? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
