[M3devel] Upgrade dependencies, was: Re: do-cm3.cmd for Windows

[Jay K]

I fixed that bug at least in libm3. The dependency was easily removed and very painful when present.

see:

http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-libs/libm3/src/os/POSIX/m3makefile.diff?r1=1.8;r2=1.9

http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-libs/libm3/src/os/POSIX/m3makefile.diff?r1=1.10;r2=1.11

 

Is there more of it?

I haven't see the error in a while. Coincidence?

I can test it out..
