[petsc-dev] BuildSystem: how to prevent 'make clean' before 'make'

[Blaise A Bourdin]

Hi,

I am trying to get BuildSystem to build pnetcdf (parallel netcdf automatically).
The build process is very straightforward (configure; make; make install)
Looking at other packages, I came up with the following for $PETSC_DIR/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/pnetcdf.py

import config.package
import os

class Configure(config.package.GNUPackage):
  def __init__(self, framework):
    config.package.Package.__init__(self, framework)
    self.download          = ['http://cucis.ece.northwestern.edu/projects/PnetCDF/Release/parallel-netcdf-1.8.1.tar.gz']
    self.functions         = ['ncmpi_create']
    self.includes          = ['pnetcdf.h']
    self.liblist           = [['libpnetcdf.a']]
    self.downloaddirnames  = ['parallel-netcdf-1.8.1']
    return

  def setupDependencies(self, framework):
    config.package.GNUPackage.setupDependencies(self, framework)
    self.mpi   = framework.require('config.packages.MPI', self)
    self.deps  = [self.mpi]
    return

  def formGNUConfigureArgs(self):
    args = config.package.GNUPackage.formGNUConfigureArgs(self)
    args.append('LIBS="'+self.compilers.LIBS+'"')
    return args


Looking at configure.log, it looks like BuildSystem does a make clean between configure and make
Unfortunately, there must be something wrong with the parallel-netcdf makefile, as make clean erases some of the files generated by pkgconfig (?), so that make install later fails...

Is there an easy way to skip the 'make clean' step?
