Hi,

Just in case anyone else is seeing this...

After pulling the recent big push (containing the new version of the
test runner "MTR") to 6.0 main (bzr revid
luis.soares@stripped) into my local
branches, I saw the following build failure on some platforms:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
gmake  all-am
gmake[4]: Entering directory
`/export/home/tmp/mysql/bzr-repos/mysql-6.0/libmysqld/examples'
gmake[4]: *** No rule to make target `mysqltest.c', needed by
`mysqltest.o'.  Stop.

(...)

gmake: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Olav and I have seen this on Solaris when using the Sun Studio compiler.
Others have reported the same on Gentoo Linux and Mac. Rumors say that
running "make distclean" will make it go away, but that did not help in
my case.

A working solution seems to be to either

a) Delete your current branch and make a new one to replace it

b) Delete the old symlink libmysqld/examples/mysqltest.c ->
../../client/mysqltest.c


I don't know why this only happens in some cases.
