Seems like those folders didn't have much to compile, only one file whose dependencies were compiled. Before you send a patch, at least check that you have a .o file or the .c file that is affected by your patch. You can also compile by saying make path/to/file.o. The only risk with that method is that it won't find missing dependencies between files, if you eg change a function name in one place but not everywhere that it is used. But changes inside functions often don't relate to that. And with make path/to/file.o you will see immediately if it is able to compile your file. julia > Thank you > On Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 9:38:25 AM UTC+5:30, Shivani Bhardwaj wrote: > On Sun, Oct 04, 2015 at 02:59:17PM +0200, Julia Lawall wrote: > > On Sun, 4 Oct 2015, Shivani Bhardwaj wrote: > > > >>> > >>> Hi Julia, Sudip!
