Summary: Build process misses some dependency
Product: Exim
Version: 4.76
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: low
Component: Unfiled
AssignedTo: nigel@???
ReportedBy: hs+exim@???
CC: exim-dev@???
After a successful build I changed src/transports/appendfile.{h,c} to add
a new option to the appendfiles option block.
Unfortunately this change needs to be promoted up to drtables.o (drtables.c
includes appendfile.h). This dependency is not coded in the Makefiles.
In build-*/Makefile is a notice about this dependency, telling that the lower
level Makefiles (src/transports/Makefile) remove the drtables.o in case of any
change. But I got the impression, that this is not done.
(Probably my fix has to be applied to other lower level Makefiles too. I didnt'
to that, because I'd say, much more cleaner would be, if we encode this
dependency in build-*/Makefile. But, again, there is some notice about exactly
such an attempt - having unexpected results in IRIX, this notice is undated,
probably it is outdated meanwhile?
