At the state that things are now, trying to 'nmake clean' (Win32) will create an endless loop, eat up all your memory, and crash your computer. I had about 500MB of memory available so it didn't crash mine fortunately :) On other platforms it will just exit with an error. I have a patch for this, but I think the other patch works better, because as someone said, -C isn't supported on all platforms :) ----snip---- Index: parrot/Makefile.in =================================================================== RCS file: /home/perlcvs/parrot/Makefile.in,v retrieving revision 1.69 diff -u -r1.69 Makefile.in --- parrot/Makefile.in 12 Dec 2001 15:07:38 -0000 1.69 +++ parrot/Makefile.in 12 Dec 2001 18:13:28 -0000 @@ -141,8 +141,8 @@ $(RM_F) examples/assembly/mops$(EXE) examples/assembly/mops.c $(RM_F) examples/assembly/mops$(O) examples/assembly/mops.pbc $(RM_F) Parrot/OpLib/core.pm - $(MAKE) -C clean - $(MAKE) -C clean + $(MAKE) -C docs clean + $(MAKE) -C classes clean distclean: $(PERL) -MExtUtils::Manifest=filecheck -le '$$ExtUtils::Manifest::Quiet=1;unlink $$_ for filecheck()' ----snip---- -Jaen SaulThread Next
