Subj: 	v40a build problem

A few days ago I successfully build kernel objects in my v40a sandbox.
But now it doesn't work. My sandboxes x40 and x40a are on machine
music under /usr/sb.

In my v40 sandbox:
ode x40 music> build MAKE_ARGS="bs_access.o" BINARY_
relative path: ./kernel.
string passed to 
/usr/sde/osf1/build/v40supportos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/hostbin/make:
   make -cF MAKE_ARGS=bs_access.o BINARY_ 

In my v40a sandbox:
ode x40a music> build MAKE_ARGS="bs_access.o" BINARY_
relative path: ./kernel.
string passed to /usr/sde/ode3.0/tools/alpha_ace/bin/make:
   make -cF MAKE_ARGS=bs_access.o BINARY_ 
make: illegal option -- c
usage: make [-eiknqrst] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-f makefile ]
        [-I directory] [-j max_jobs] [variable=value]

Evidently the v40a nightly pool's make is not found which causes
make to fail. But it worked fine a few days ago.
You can check that all relevant pools are mounted fine on machine music.
Do you have any ideas?

	Confused,

So, my question becomes: Are there times during the week when building in a sandbox backed by a nightly pool will not work because PATH is setup for .bld instead of .nightly? Or is this a "one-time" glitch? Since the same v40a sandbox built objects a few days ago, I know that building sometimes works. I would like to know the times that I can expect it to not work so that I can plan my work schedule. sergei

Only in the middle of the update of the nightly tree will you see this, and you'll also see each directory (tools,src,export, etc) removed and repopulated in turn. At the end the rc_files are edited to reflect the name of the tree. -josh
