[Dart] dart and clean build

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

I was thinking about this the other day.  I think Dart should support both "clean" builds and
incrementals.  Currently, Dart forces the PC to do a clean build while unix setups need to do the
clean by hand.

I think Nightly builds should always do a clean.

I think Continuous builds should periodically be cleaned (once a day?).

I was thinking of this in terms of accelerating the Continuous builds. 

Maybe the command structure should be

tclsh DashboardManager.tcl DartConfiguration.tcl Experimental Clean Build Test Submit

Bill,

  Dart should only know how to do a build, no a clean.  It's easy enough to automate a clean while
writing the script to run Dart, and it proved hard enough just to do builds on multiple platforms.

P.S.  I see that Dart is being rolled out for vtknew, when do we get to view it on the web?

Should the build stuff for msdev do a clean?  
It removes the .dsp files and other files that may
be hard to recover from a command line build.

The unix build does not sort of clean.  It is up to the
user to make sure things are clean before the build.


For CMake and VC I do this:

cd //c/hoffman/Dart
cvs update -dAP
cd //c/hoffman/CMake
cvs update -dAP
cd //c/hoffman
# here is the clean
rm -rf CMake-vc-dashboard
mkdir CMake-vc-dashboard
cd CMake-vc-dashboard
echo -e DART_ROOT:PATH=c:/Hoffman/Dart\\nMAKEPROGRAM:FILEPATH=msdev > CMakeCache.txt
/cygdrive/c/hoffman/CMake/Source/cmake ../CMake
msdev CMake.dsw /MAKE "Nightly - Win32 Debug" /BUILD


I don't think it is Build.tcl's job to clean.
