Not rebuilding correctly?

SDL Development

After changing a file, in this case SDL_x11modes.c, and rerunning
make, the main libs don’t get rebuild. Missing dependencies?–

Yep, automake doesn’t know that the .la files depend on the .c files.

Here’s what I do:
rm -v find . -name '*.la' ; make

Duh. :slight_smile: Is it fixable? I never used automake.

Here’s what I do:
rm -v find . -name '*.la' ; make

Or in zsh:

rm **/*.la ; make

That’s what I ended up doing.–
