#575: McLachlan should use the kranc script instead of calling Mathematica ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: McLachlan ------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
Can you check the patch again? As far as I can tell, the behaviour should not have changed. The relevant code is at the end of runmath.sh, and from my reading of it, the new behaviour should be the same as the old. The output of Kranc is redirected to the error file, and if there is an error, the script exits leaving the output in the error file. If there is no error, the output is moved to the output file. Am I missing something?
If what you said were correct, the dependency mechanism in the Makefile, which relies on the .out file to tell that the thorn was built successfully, would not work at all.
