[M3devel] problems rebuilding everything

[Jay]

This is all normal stuff, not indicative of any real problem.
Please try scripts/python/upgrade.py.
I don't use scripts/win any longer.
The format of pkginfo.txt is incredibly simple:
  1) it is in a particular order 
  2) package name followed by groups it is in 
  almost everything is in "std".

The order of the file isn't necessarily correct for "upgrade", since you have to skip building anything that uses LONGINT and first build a compiler that understands LONGINT. (I'm working on a small change with the opposite requirement, but will instead avoid it, else cause too painful bootstrapping; the change is to provide HOST and HOST_OSTYPE in quake, but that's a dependency from m3quake to m3core, if done the expected way; I'll clone Compiler.tmpl instead, and rename the interfade).

Subject: [M3devel] problems rebuilding everything







I think I've traced the problem rebuilding everything on WindowsXP to the sysutils package.
 
I don't think this package is getting built in the correct order when running the scripts in the scripts\win folder.
 
Can someone tell me the purpose and format of the scripts\pkginfo.txt file?  It would appear that this file has something to do with defining the build order.  In this file the sysutils entry is defined as:  sysutils core std
 
In looking at the m3makefile for this package, it appears to depend on:  libm3
 
When I run the scripts\win\upgrade.cmd file, I get to a point where an error occurs because sysutils has not been built.  If you then build sysutils and run the upgrade.cmd script again, you later get a version stamp mismatch problem.
 
Please advise on how to repair this problem.
 
Regards,
Randy
