From: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@xxxxxxxxx> If we don't force the symlink creation the build fails when the link already exists. This happens if the rule to create the link is triggered again because the file it points to changed. This is the case when doing incremental builds and we modified the file. $ make $ touch lib/cmtp.h $ make GEN lib/bluetooth/cmtp.h ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘lib/bluetooth/cmtp.h’: File exists make: *** [lib/bluetooth/cmtp.h] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... --- Makefile.am | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index 6def418..a2cdb62 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -427,10 +427,10 @@ src/builtin.h: src/genbuiltin $(builtin_sources) $(AM_V_GEN)$(srcdir)/src/genbuiltin $(builtin_modules) > $@ profiles/sap/sap.c: profiles/sap/@SAP_DRIVER@ - $(AM_V_GEN)$(LN_S) $(abs_top_srcdir)/$< $@ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(LN_S) -f $(abs_top_srcdir)/$< $@ profiles/input/suspend.c: profiles/input/@HOG_SUSPEND_DRIVER@ - $(AM_V_GEN)$(LN_S) $(abs_top_builddir)/$< $@ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(LN_S) -f $(abs_top_builddir)/$< $@ scripts/%.rules: $(AM_V_GEN)cp $(subst 97-,,$@) $@ @@ -439,7 +439,7 @@ $(lib_libbluetooth_la_OBJECTS): $(local_headers) lib/bluetooth/%.h: lib/%.h $(AM_V_at)$(MKDIR_P) lib/bluetooth - $(AM_V_GEN)$(LN_S) $(abs_top_builddir)/$< $@ + $(AM_V_GEN)$(LN_S) -f $(abs_top_builddir)/$< $@ clean-local: $(RM) -r lib/bluetooth -- 1.8.0.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
