You are right that make distclean in the source directory solves the issue. Intuitively I expect ./configure to re-wire things, make distclean should not be necessary.

So any crud left in there can still satisfy dependencies when building outside $SRC_PATH. I'm not sure there's a simple way around this except to prefix all source files with $(SRC_PATH) and remove $(SRC_PATH) from VPATH...I'm not even sure that would work though.. Perhaps just a friendly error message if we detect the $(SRC_PATH) directory needs a distclean?

Thanks for finding out what is happening. My understanding is that $(SRC_PATH) must be used when invoking external commands during the build, since they don't perform vpath search. For make targets we don't need to use $(SRC_PATH) since the vpath is in effect. Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I finally found out why this problem occured in the first place. It is a combination of the bug you just described and the fact that "make distclean" only deletes the build directories of the targets specified *in the last call to configure*. e.g.: ./configure && make && ./configure --target-list=i386-softmmu && make distclean will only delete the build directories related to that i386 target (and not the others). This is caused by the fact that "make distclean" cleans the targets specified by $(TARGET_DIRS) in the configure script, which is in turn affected by --target-list. I guess it would need an "ALL_TARGET_DIRS" variable instead to do its cleanup, or rm -rf *-user and *-softmmu (although this sounds less safe).
