[m-dev.] mmc --make still broken?

[Paul Bone]

Are there still problems with mmc --make?

***@oxygen> mmc --make hello --grade asm_fast.gc
** Error: error reading file `pretty_printer.m' to generate dependencies.

Not that I'm aware of. mmc --make hello works fine on my machine with
rotd-2015-10-16.

Sorry, that wasn't the most up-to-date version. I've tried again with the
most up-to-date version 892134a9af5fbfa56d557512c977b6f6f111ab40 and I get
the same error.

I also just tried to compile samples/hello.m with the same version,
892134a9af5fbfa56d557512c977b6f6f111ab40, and get no error:

What hello.m are you compiling?

The same one, samples/hello.m

Maybe something is weird in my configuration for some reason. I'll track it
down later.

I tracked down this error.

It's a bootstrap error. I built this compiler with a slightly older one
that wrote IL foreign language information into .module_dep files. But
after the new compiler was installed it couldn't read the .module_dep files
that had been installed for its standard library modules, as support for IL
has been removed. After failing to read .module_dep it looked for a .m file
in the current directory to attempt to rebuild the dependencies. The
solution is that I should bootstrap with a slightly newer ROTD.

We should be aware of this in case it affects anyone else.
