Description From Mathieu Lacage 2008-08-15 13:59:28 EDT

I have a hard time figuring out:
1) why we build everything.h when --python-scan is not run
2) why we _don't_ build everything.h when --python-scan is run

Both look like bugs to me.

This is needed because the python bindings include this header file.  Well, it
doesn't have to be this way, but it's easier this way, so why bother changing.

This is a bug; confirmed.

I still get this bug in ns-3-dev HEAD as of today.

What are you doing that expect everything.h to be rebuilt?  Maybe I missed some
dependency.

I just modify a couple of headers in src/devices/wifi/

I modified a couple of headers in src/devices/wifi and it worked.  What
particular headers does it not work with?  If they are private headers...

I think we can close this bug as INVALID since --python-scan does not try to
build anything anymore. it exits.
