[Axiom-developer] *.NRLIB directories not created under ${OUT}

[Balbir Thomas]

Hi,

As mentioned in my previous mail there is another error that
occurs when building axiom on Debian/woody :

BOOT>cp: cannot create regular file
`/home/bt/archive/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/RETRACT-.NRLIB/code.o': No such file
or directory
make[4]: *** [/home/bt/archive/axiom/int/algebra/RETRACT-.NRLIB/code.o] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/bt/archive/axiom/src/algebra'
make[3]: *** [algebradir] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/bt/archive/axiom/src'
make[2]: *** [srcdir] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bt/archive/axiom'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bt/archive/axiom'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

I think this is when src/algebra/Makefile is trying to process the rule:

${OUT}/%.o: ${MID}/%.NRLIB/code.o
        @ echo generic 1 -- making ${OUT}/$*.o from ${MID}/$*.NRLIB
        @ cp ${MID}/$*.NRLIB/code.o ${OUT}/$*.o


The problem is that ${OUT}/*.NRLIB directories have not been created at this
point so copying into them fails. I can't find were (which makefile) was 
supposed to create these directories. 

sincerely
