Description quetschke 2007-08-05 17:33:47 UTC 
The upcoming dmake 4.11 has stricter inference chain checking and it discovered
the following problem in odk (see at the end).

The problem is that in odk/util/rules.pmk the following two rules are ambigous
if $(EXEPOSTFIX) is empty and a target "regcomp.bin" is infered:

$(DESTDIRBIN)$/%$(EXEPOSTFIX) : $(BINOUT)$/%$(EXEPOSTFIX)
	@@-rm -f $@
	$(GNUCOPY) $(BINOUT)$/$(@:f) $@

$(DESTDIRBIN)$/%.bin : $(BINOUT)$/%.bin
	@@-rm -f $@
	$(GNUCOPY) $(BINOUT)$/$(@:f) $@


I will make this a warning in dmake 4.11 for now, but we should fix this before
cws_src680_dmake411 is integrated.

jsc -> vq: if it is possible for you, can you simply test the following change
and if it works it would be nice if you can apply the change on your cws.

change the rule:

$(DESTDIRBIN)$/%$(EXEPOSTFIX) : $(BINOUT)$/%$(EXEPOSTFIX)
	@@-rm -f $@
	$(GNUCOPY) $(BINOUT)$/$(@:f) $@

to

$(DESTDIRBIN)$/%.exe : $(BINOUT)$/%.exe
	@@-rm -f $@
	$(GNUCOPY) $(BINOUT)$/$(@:f) $@

The change of the rule is ok and uncritical. The macro EXEPOSTFIX still works
and is used to collect the necessary files for the different platforms.

jsc -> vq: ping, can you test it?
Comment 3 quetschke 2007-08-09 17:35:00 UTC 
Yes, I'll test and fix it. Sorry for not reacting faster, but it will be some
time until dmake 4.11 hits the master and this is just a warning ;)

Maybe I should delegate this to ause ...
