[perl #61052] [BUG]: r33482 Can't run 'make realclean' in languages/perl6 directory

This bug has been around for a while, but I've been too lazy to report it :)

My build tools automatically run a 'make realclean' if I type 'rebuild' in a directory with a Makefile. If you do that in languages/perl6, you can no longer run "make" in that directory. Doing an "svn up" doesn't help. Going back to the top level and running a 'make realclean && make' also doesn't help.

I know of no way to recover from this aside from doing a fresh checkout.


Cheers,
Ovid

Rerunning Configure.pl will recreate the language makefiles, but it's
overkill: Here's a snippet that does it:

perl -Ilib tools/dev/reconfigure.pl --step=gen::languages --languages=perl6

Tcl avoids this by having its own Configure.pl that does this one step
to generate a new copy of the Makefile.

http://code.google.com/p/partcl/source/browse/trunk/Configure.pl

So, in languages/tcl, you can do "make realclean; perl Configure.pl && make"

Regards.

Actually I call it a feature ;-)

the Makefile is generated by Makefile.PL (which in turn calls
Configure.pl), just like with any "normal" Perl package - the difference
is just that in this case Makefile.PL lives in the parrot root dir, not
in languages/perl6/

Maybe a symlink in languages/perl6/ to parrot's Makefile.PL could help?

(Just out of curiosity, do you need 'make realclean' in
languages/perl6/? Most of the time a simple 'make' works for me, or a
'make clean'. I never needed realclean in Rakudo, only in parrot so far).

No, I don't need to do that. It comes from my 'rebuild' script and that's just finger memory on my part.
