http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8690 src/Makefile doen't notice errors in subsidiary makefiles Summary: src/Makefile doen't notice errors in subsidiary makefiles Product: Xerces-C++ Version: 1.6.0 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Build AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] src/Makefile.in has a bunch of lines like Util:: @echo Building "util" ${CD} $(UTIL_DIR) ; $(MAKE) $(MAKE_FLAGS) ; ${CD} .. If the subsidiary make fails, this is never reported back to the parent makefile because of the "; cd .." at the end (which succeeds). This should be converted to something like: Util:: @echo Building "util" ${CD} $(UTIL_DIR) && $(MAKE) $(MAKE_FLAGS) or even (given that it insists on gmake anyway...) Util:: @echo Building "util" $(MAKE) $(MAKE_FLAGS) -C $(UTIL_DIR) This can result in hard-to-diagnose errors, where a single file fails to compile, but the library gets built anyway and can't be used due to unresolved symbols. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
