[petsc-dev] Dependence of build on test target broken

[Smith, Barry F.]

  Satish,

    I am confused. I checked out the commit just before this commit and do 

$ touch src/mat/interface/matrix.c
$ make -j 12 -f gmakefile.test test globsearch="snes*tests*ex1*"
Use "/usr/bin/make V=1" to see verbose compile lines, "/usr/bin/make V=0" to suppress.
          CC arch-basic/tests/snes/examples/tests/ex1.o
          CC arch-basic/tests/snes/examples/tests/ex17.o
...

It is not attempting to rebuild the library, I then editing matrix.c with a blank line and again 
make test had no interest in rebuilding the library.

I then checkout maint and do the same thing. It doesn't bother rebuilding the library, just starts on the tests


  What am I misunderstanding? Something to with the Mac? 

  Barry
