Mark;
 
The CVS checkout (or CVS update) operation will not pull the contents of
the default configuration files (as found in install_tree), the archivers
(in dist), etc. For those you need max-3.03-etc.tar.gz. That file remain
relatively static, howerver.
 
I'm suggesting the wipe/build operation as opposed to make clean, because
make clean isn't programmed to wipe away source which has been
deprecated,and because make install will not overwrite existing
configuration files.. but the templates have fewer bugs in them now (i.e.
the menus work out of the box).
 
Also, I'm paranoid, as there have been a LOT of changes in the last few
days, and if the make clean rules are broken in some subtle way, you could
be in for a world of hurt (e.g. changed dynamic link paths, changed some
structure sizes, etc).
 
FWIW, I haven't tested just "make squish" in quite some time,
although "make build" (which builds max *and* squish) has been
well tested, as
has "make install".
 
Let's just say I'm following the OpenSource mantra "Release Early,
Release Often".
 
Either that, or the Gates mantra "Let your users do the testing for you".
