I ran into a problem tonight when I tried to build gr-fcd -- it didn't

thought I'd do a make uninstall
make; sudo make install from the CMake side, and everything would be
peachy. Well, no. The CMake
side doesn't update those artifacts, it seems, so if you want a to
build an auto-tools based "add on",
like gr-fcd, you had better make sure that you've recently done an
auto-tools build of Gnu Radio, so
that the *.la artifacts are up-to-date. This caused me grief because
at some point, around October 31,
I'd done an auto-tools build that produced *syntactically invalid*
*.la files, but since I'd subsequently
moved my life over to CMake, I guess I never noticed, until I had to
build gr-fcd as an "add on".
Thanks, Marcus. I've been wondering if/when that was going to bite us in the ass. Josh and I worked on it a bit a while ago, but we didn't know any case where it wouldn't work. All I knew was that they were building different .la files. We'll have to investigate this again now that there's a known need.
Also, this is exactly why we have the parallel builds as we work out the kinks in cmake.
