mpw-make clean doesn't work #30

Closed MaddTheSane closed 8 years ago

MaddTheSane commented 8 years ago

mpw-make clean on the MLTESample example fails with an error:

mpw Delete -i -y :obj:MLTESampleCarbon.c.y MLTESampleCarbon 
Unable to find command Delete
$MPW = /Users/***/mpw
$Commands = Users:***:mpw:Tools:,"Users:***:mpw:Scripts:"

command failed with exit code 64

Using mpw make clean succeeds:

Delete -i -y ?
    ":obj:MLTESampleCarbon.c.y" ?
    MLTESampleCarbon

What would cause the two to behave differently?

mpw make just prints the shell commands, it doesn't actually do anything. mpw-make tries to actually run those commands.

In this case, there is no Delete utility, so it can't run and errors out. If Delete is a standalone utility, you could put it into your mpw:Tools folder and it might work. If it was built into the mpw shell, I'll need to create a new standalone version I guess.

I've added a delete command to the mpw-tools. Additionally, mpw-make has been upgraded and split out into it's own project.

between the two, makefiles should work better now.
