[GRASS-user] Recovering from a build error

[Rich Shepard]

   Very infrequently, when building a new executable from updated source code
from the 7.3.svn trunk I'll get an error such as today's:

Errors in:
/home/rshepard/gis/grass/grass7_trunk/scripts/d.rast.edit
--
In case of errors please change into the directory with error and run 'make'.

   When I cd to scripts/ and run make it completes without errors. Because it
has been so long since make has thrown an error I've forgotten how to
proceed. If I 'make distclean' and start over by configuring and making I
get the same error.

   Cd'ing back to grass7_trunk/ and running 'make' again still generates an
error in the same file:

GRASS GIS 7.3.svn r71491 compilation log

If you get multiple errors, you need to deal with them in the order they
appear in the error log. If you get an error building a library, you will
also get errors from anything which uses the library.

Makefile:57: recipe for target 'default' failed
make: *** [default] Error 1

   A reminder is needed.

TIA,
