[Gambas-user] Latest commit failing to compile (gbx)

[Bruce Steers]

Thanks Ben , i do not understand why i get this sort of error though.

as far as i know i have not changed anything.
I downloaded and compiled/installed Gambas a couple of times yesterday
without problem then suddenly i get a problem with gbx compiling after you
made changes to it.
It must be a problem in the make install not overwriting things/updating
libs properly?

that's why I was a little put out by you saying it's my fault?  My thinking
was "well i didn't bloody do anything !"

This certainly seems to be an issue with the installer not properly
configuring.
You are absolutely right in your solution it seems i did a make distclean
(it's a function in my app) and it has compiled again now,
thank you.

But why ?  how ? what bloomin causes it?  It's both annoying and
embarrassing and still strikes me as a bug in the gambas installer.

i want to add something to the wiki about what type of change will possibly
require make clean as the installer fails at some type of change.

Or is it just going to have to be considered an addition to what to do if
not compiling just running "make install"

Thanks again.  apologies for my deflated ego shouting out.
