`build-recorder` build failure. #194

Closed fvalasiad closed 1 year ago

fvalasiad commented 1 year ago

Trying to build build-recorder in a clean install yields an error complaining that:

make[2]: ../build-recorder: No such file or directory

That is because SUBDIRS runs recursively depth first, and actually tries to run the test cases before build-recorder is built.

Steps to reproduce

make clean
make
fvalasiad commented 1 year ago

@zvr What if we instead define a new rule "check" or whatever so that the examples are run solely when that rule is invoked?

make check

Toplevel makefile would then probably be:

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

bin_PROGRAMS = build-recorder

build_recorder_SOURCES = \
    src/tracer.c \
    src/hash.c \
    src/record.c \
    src/main.c

SUBDIRS = benchmark

check:
    $(MAKE) -C examples

No. we don't want examples and benchmarks being run when building the software.

And you need them in SUBDIRS so that automake knows which directories to visit.
