Dear Valeri & rootdev, I completely agree, I was asking for a standardized root Makefile for a looong time now - and just wrote my own (yes, not difficult, but I think too much to ask for the regular user). It's part of the next Fermilab release of root, and we will see if users will pick it up. Still, it would be nice to have a Makefile.arch separated from root/test/Makefile, i.e. just the arch dependent compiler & linker switches without any rules, and a Makefile.config that just contains the ARCH, THREADS NOEXCEPTION settings used to build root. This would allow other makefiles to simply include all root build specific settings. All that can go into test/, no need for an AFS only build subdir. Re-inventing the wheel is a bad thing, but only allowing certain user groups to use the wheel is not much better, esp for free software. Cheers, Axel. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-roottalk@pcroot.cern.ch > [mailto:owner-roottalk@pcroot.cern.ch]On Behalf Of Valeri Fine > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 1:13 PM > To: roottalk@pcroot.cern.ch > Subject: [ROOT] Wanted: "build" subdirectory on AFS > > > Hello team, > Is it possible provide ROOT "build" directory on afs. > > I was not able to find one. > > find /afs/cern.ch/na49/library.4/ROOT/pro/ -name build > > One needs it to avoid the "wheel reinvention".
