Re: [Qemu-devel] [Patch] Makefile.target

[Stefan Weil <weil@mail.berlios.de>]

Hi Paul,

of course it is always good practice to avoid errors.

But nevertheless, sometimes it happens that I "do that",
and then I'm always happy when I get a clear error
message. Or even better, when something works as
expected even when I did something unexpected.
You are lucky if you never experienced such situations.

In my case, even a simple line like
$(DYNGEN):
in Makefile.target would have made me happier.

"make subdir-i386-softmmu" is ok for my application,
configuring with --target-list=i386-softmmu is no solution though
because I need mips-softmmu and mipsel-softmmu, too :-)
