Reset Konstruct to rebuild

Hi all,

I have finally got around to building KDE, and what a great job it is - and running 3.4 is really nice 8o

OK, what I need to know is how to reset Konstruct so that I can rebuild all the files in meta/kde/ without having to download them again (I wish to change the install location).

I have ran `make cleanbuild` in several directories, and it appears to do the job... but when I run `make install` again, I just get:

and takes 2 seconds as opposed to 14 hours :D

Ideas how to reset it all to build from scratch?

Thanks,

OK, I have fixed this - there is an error in the gar.mk makefile.

The lines:

Source code

2

buildclean:
        rm -rf $(WORKSRC) $(WORKDIR) $(EXTRACTDIR) $(SCRATCHDIR)-$(COOKIEDIR) $(SCRATCHDIR)-build *~


includes $(SCRATCHDIR)-$(COOKIEDIR) which expands to 'tmp-cookies'. This is incorrect, as the directories are called 'cookies'.

Fixing this line to just $(COOKIEDIR) really then does 'buildclean' and I am now rebuilding KDE without having to download the files again.

I have contacted the author/owner of Konstruct re this problem.
