unit_test Makefile is Broken - Recursively Calls itself until Machine Apocalypse.

[nmhamster]

Seem to be having a problem with the Makefile in unit_test after I run ./generate_makefile.

I clone the Kokkos repo, create a directory for an out of source build, run ../generate_makefile.bash --with-openmp --arch=HSW --compiler=icpc and then run make in unit_test causes infinite recursion.

I can't reproduce that, can you post the output?

Still can't reproduce it. Lets sit down again.

This was tracked down to previously calling generate_makefile in the Kokkos root directory. That will overwrite the sub makefiles which will end up recursively calling itself if you try to build.

To prevent that generate_makefile should check whether it is called inside of the kokkos root directory.

I thought we agreed we would modify the generate_makefile.sh to error on this case?

[crtrott]

Thats what I meant.
