Re: Capfast Rules in 3.13.4 RULES.Host

Hi Andy,

The rules haven't changed if you use the makeBaseApp.pl method of creating
application areas as described in the document 
"EPICS IOC Applications Building and Source Release Control" 
http://www.aps.anl.gov/asd/controls/epics/EpicsDocumentation/AppDevManuals/iocAppBuildSRcontrol3_13_0beta12.html

You have your own config directory with a RULES.Db file containing the line:
%.edf:: ../%.sch $(DEPSCHS)
        @if [ ! -f cad.rc -a -r ../cad.rc ] ; then ln -s ../cad.rc ; fi
        $(SCH2EDIF) $(SCH2EDIF_SYSFLAGS) $(SCH2EDIF_FLAGS) $<

However,  even with $(DEPSCHS) I have always had to touch the 
top level schematic to make the schematics rebuild.  I think DEPSCHS must
need to be defined somehow and I haven't learned how to use it. 
When I change or touch my top schematic the database builds fine
without the $(DEPSCHS).

I believe Thomas Birke may know how RULES.Db is supposed to work to
get schematics to rebuild when any of the underlying schematics have changed.
