Youtube-dl compilation after custom changes

[vanilla38]

Someone can explain me how to recompile youtube-dl (unix version) after some changes in files like "InfoExtractors.py" ?

I know i can execute __main.py to get my code working but this is not what i want.

I want to recompile the whole script including my custom changes and when i try to do it with "make" i get "already up to date" error.

Thanks. (and sorry there's no forum for noob questions)

You must rename (or remove) the youtube-dl file that is already there (not the one in the bin/ directory), then you can run make youtube-dl and it should create it with your changes.

(I'm closing it, but feel free to ask anything you want)

It's stange, I have done a fresh clone, make a change and make youtube-dl works correctly without needing to remove the existing file.
