Re: Oddities in CVS packages compilation

These packages do LISPFILES = $(wildcard *.el) ELCS = $(ELS:.el=.elc) or the like. You either have to do a make clean or GENLISP = auto-autoloads _pkg.el custom-load LISPFILES = $(filter-out $(GENLISP) $(LISPFILES)) ELCS = $(ELS:.el=.elc) I'm not sure if that will fix what you're seeing, but it should help. I dunno what's up with the cp breakage. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
