Not to be boring and stop the fun about "make", "cgp", etc., but I would like to go back to the functionality of gp (or whatever it is eventually called). Once or twice I have come across an error message saying something like "foo.gpi must be recompiled". Nothing but [a] deleting foo.gpi, and [b] compiling the program again, will cure this when it happens. It has happened randomly (it has only happened twice) and so I can't figure out what specifically triggers it.
I have searched in the gp sources for "recompiled" and "recompile", and I can't see any message similar to what I have got. Is this message embedded somewhere in the compiler sources? And, why doesn't gp just recompile automatically in these cases?
It's a GPC message and probably means that GP didn't recompile something before. According to the subject, I assume you have upgraded to 0.55 already?
As usual, I could probably better fix it if you can reproduce it somehow. If that's not possible, try sending me the `-v' output that files, the contents of all .gpd files involved and time stamps of all source, gpi, object and .gpd files.
