RE: XEmacs 21.5 Makefile: 'make check' should build first
If you feel strongly enough to do the work of checking to see which
of
the several ways of constructing an xemacs binary disturbs the tree
least, and testing to make sure that it works properly for all of the
various short-circuit configurations (and in particular does _not_ do
a full build when xemacs is configured --quick-build),
I think this depends on the default behaviour of 'make' under those conditions.
If you configure with --quick-build and then type 'make', does it do a full
build?
I configured XEmacs with --quick-build and the generated Makefile still has 'all'
as the first target. So assuming that 'make' when configured for quick-build will
do a quick build, there should be no problem with making 'test' depend on
'all'.
