A build question

[Ian Holsman <Ia...@cnet.com>]

hi.

i've got 2 nits about the build system, and i'm not sure how to go about fixing them

1) exports.c -- this seems to be a auto-generated file, but I don't think that all the programs
	which depend on it are defined in the makefile. If I do a make -j I sometimes get a error
	saying the file doesn't exist. (re-running make -j fixes it)

2) ./httpd -v -- doesn't show the correct build date/time If I'm modifying a static module. (so
	I'm never 100% if my change went in, forcing me to touch server/*.c) is there a way to fix
	this so that ANY build/link will change the date ???


Cheers
Ian

Are you doing a 'make depend' before you build?  We do not put
dependancies in our Makefiles in CVS.

Again, I believe this is due to bad dependancies.  The file that defines
this is buildmark.c, and this file should ALWAYS be re-built, so that it
picks up the new date.  Make sure you have run 'make depend', and if that
doesn't work, then we need to fix dependancy generation.
