GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 764214
build system executing builds in background when shouldn't be
Last modified: 2016-05-03 10:02:41 UTC
I haven't proved this yet, but I'm pretty sure we are accidentally doing real builds in the background upon saving files when we shouldn't be. My only evidence of this so far is that typing make in a terminal for an autotools project "does nothing" and sometimes seems to be racing on accessing .lo objects.
Created attachment 327206 [details] [review] autotools: fix ctags building When moving to subprocess launcher, we managed to miss the target name we want to execute. In the common case, this was "ctags". So we were executing "gmake" instead of "gmake ctags". Quite annoying, glad to have tracked this one down!
