Build fail about romwbw

[wwarthen]

Hi Alan,

Sorry about this.

I have not been able to recreate the problem. The build seems fine on my local system and the error does not occur on the automated Ubuntu build on GitHub.

The error indicates that ASSIGN.COM is already in the floppy image being created. Doesn't make sense according to the log.

The Makefile is not very good at handling a "rerun". Ideally, you should use "make clobber" at the root before running a new build. Using "make clean" should be OK as well, but "make clobber" is more thorough.

I'm not sure what else to suggest at this point.

Thanks,

Wayne

Oh, I just realized that the log is indicating you have two copies of assign.com with different case in your Binary/Apps directory. I'm not sure what would cause that, but it gives me something to look for.

Thanks,

I'll have a dig as well. That kind of makes sense - on Windows they'd overwrite one another and not be noticed.

Just to let you know, I am coming up empty on this. I have searched everywhere to find a place where assign.com might be getting generated with different case and just don't see it. Is there any chance you had contents from an older source build?

Thanks,

Wayne

make clobber does indeed do the trick.

Thanks

Very happy to hear you got it working Alan. I will review the Unix build documentation -- I don't think it is clear enough about the rerun deficiencies and the use of "make clobber".
