2312 |
+=============================== |
|
2313 |
+ |
|
2314 |
+New ``make regen-all`` build target |
|
2315 |
+----------------------------------- |
|
2316 |
+ |
|
2317 |
+To simplify cross-compilation, and to ensure that CPython can reliably be |
|
2318 |
+compiled without requiring an existing version of Python to already be |
|
2319 |
+available, the autotools-based build system no longer attempts to implicitly |
|
2320 |
+recompile generated files based on file modification times. |
|
2321 |
+ |
|
2322 |
+Instead, a new ``make regen-all`` command has been added to force regeneration |
|
2323 |
+of these files when desired (e.g. after an initial version of Python has |
|
2324 |
+already been built based on the pregenerated versions). |
|
2325 |
+ |
|
2326 |
+More selective regeneration targets are also defined - see |
|
2327 |
+:source:`Makefile.pre.in` for details. |

+Removal of ``make touch`` build target |
|
2335 |
+-------------------------------------- |
|
2336 |
+ |
|
2337 |
+The ``make touch`` build target previously used to request implicit regeneration |
|
2338 |
+of generated files by updating their modification times has been removed. |
|
2339 |
+ |
|
2340 |
+It has been replaced by the new ``make regen-all`` target. |
