Re: Content tracking mode for make

[Raman Gopalan]

Hello Lawrence,

Thanks for the reply.

>This looks like work for your code generator instead of make.

I agree with you. This should be fixed in the code gen. But I'm

currently working with a production code generator (DAVE)

which is nor free and does not include this feature. The build

process takes a long time.

>The code generator could do a diff before replacing the file.

Sure. I could pitch this around in the community.

>Make would have to keep a backup copy of the last time it built with >that file, increasing complexity and time for normal builds.

Yes, indeed. But could this be an option for make without touching

the traditional make process? (strictly as a side option)

Also, do you suggest a work around?

Best,

Raman
