Build tool writes logfile

[WayneS]

So one of the tools in my build environment writes a logfile. I can't turn off the logfile and it doesn't happen to be in a .hidden directory.

Since tup doesn't allow me to ignore certain dependencies that are detected I can't use it.

Am I missing something?

Can't you specify this file as output? You could also try to use "combined"
command like "build-tool ... && rm -rf logfile.log".

I can't make it an output because it appends to the file.

Deleting the logfile seems possible, but rather unappealing.

You could try appending the logfile to a hidden file, then removing it. Something like this: "build-tool ... && cat logfile >> .logfile && rm -f logfile". Of course, if your log file initially exists, you have to move it beforehand or tup will complain when your command removes it.

Cheers,

Simon
