|  |  | # Source checks CD source files are contributed by several people and combined by the tool. But a source might have errors, which can make the whole production fail. In preparing the CD, it is helpful to get a list of such errors and a CD made on base of the remaining sources, which are clean. Both is provided by the check mode. Check mode is activated when running `make` with the target `safely`.
      make safely
This call takes care for sources that cannot be compiled. Such sources are excluded one by one as long as the CD can be built. Error messages are collected in a file, which then can be sent to the CD team, organizers or custodians. This makes it suitable for nightly builds. This special mode is set up by a few `makefile` macros:
      # check logfile
      CHECKLOG=ppcd.log

      # intermediate data file
      CHECKDATA=PerlPointCD/.checkdata.ppcd
These files are rewritten every time a new check starts. Index-related: Configure the make call Defaults Language support |
