I think it's very funny that you think a build is guaranteed to fail in an obvious way due to a tab vs space problem.
- bee_rider 4y agoIt may not be obvious why it failed, but it should be obvious that it did fail.
- usefulcat 4y agoIf, for example, make fails to update a target that should have been updated, that kind of problem will frequently not be obvious.
- bee_rider 4y agoSure, it also won't catch the misconfiguration for those who don't even open the Makefile. It is too optimistic to hope that this venerable piece of software will solve all out misconfiguration woes, but at least it provides a possible red flag sometimes.
