[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] qemu timestamp and related makefile cleanups

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

I recently had some build failures because of a stable
timestamp file. The following patchset addresses some of the
issue I found when going over the makefiles.


Michael S. Tsirkin (4):
  rules.mak: cleanup config generation rules
  Makefile: clean timestamp generation rule
  rules/mak: make clean should blow away timestamp files
  Makefile: fix make clean on libcacard

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/4] rules.mak: cleanup config generation rules

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

This addresses two issues with config generation
1. rule generating timestamp has side effect.
Thus cleanup on error does not work.
2. rule for handling timestamp is too generic.
It can create any missing .h file.
As a result when .h file is removed, build
might try to create it using this rule which
results in build errors.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/4] Makefile: fix make clean on libcacard

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

libcacard lacks a clean target. Need to fix it,
meanwhile mark this target phony so it does not
stop parallel make clean.

Timestamp files also live in subdirectories and I think we're slowly
moving away from recursive make, so this may not clean all timestamp
files.

libcacard/Makefile is not supposed to have a clean target since
992aeb8eb53e5846a957cf333f2e1ec8cb6e0c04 ("libcacard: rewrite Makefile
in non-recursive style").

I have a patch on qemu-devel to remove libcacard from the make clean
loop since its objects are already handled by the global clean now that
the file is sourced rather than invoked recursively.

Yes but it helps whenever we include rules.mak which is in most places.

That will help too. Can you give me the msg id? Maybe I'll just
put it on my tree.

Okay, something to keep an eye on when Makefiles are converted to
non-recursive.
