[Bug-gforth] [bug #55675] Cannot build from git commit d505b1be

[Reuben Thomas]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #55675 (project gforth):

There seems to be something odd going on with the build. I check out git
repositories under ~/.local/var/repo/, which is symlinked to ~/repo.

After attempting to build gforth, I did:

gforth$ cd ..
repo$ ls
gforth/
repo$ pwd
/home/rrt/repo

So gforth's build appeared to have killed everything else in my repo
directory! Fortunately, this was not in fact true, it had in fact replaced the
symlink from ~/repo to ~/.local/var/repo with a directory ~/repo.

But surely it should not be fiddling with my filing system above the checkout
directory?!

I tried to work out what is going on: the contents of the new directory are
just library files:

gforth$ tree .
.
└── lib
    └── gforth
        └── 0.7.9_20190207
            └── amd64
                └── libcc-named
                    ├── cstr.c
                    ├── cstr.lo
                    ├── cstr.o
                    ├── libc.c
                    ├── libc.lo
                    ├── libc.o
                    ├── libgfcstr.la
                    └── libgflibc.la
