Subject: EPICS 7 not handling configuration errors

EPICS 7 could be more verbose in case of configuration errors.

If I try this:
make CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS=doesnotexist

I do not get an error message complaining about missing configuration files for the "doesnotexist" architecture.

Instead I get:
make[4]: Entering directory `/afs/psi.ch/group/8431/dirk/git/BASE/base-7.0.1-pre1/modules/libcom/src/O.doesnotexist' perl -CSD ../../src/error/makeStatTbl.pl ../../src/osi/devLib.h ../../src/osi/epicsTime.h ../../src/as/asLib.h ../../src/misc/epicsStdlib.h ../../src/pool/epicsThreadPool.h ../../src/error/errMdef.h

mv asLib.tab.c asLib.c
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `../O.Common/osiFileName.h', needed by `inc'. Stop.

Took me a while to find out that the error was a missing config file.



EPICS is more helpful if the host architecture configuration is missing:

make EPICS_HOST_ARCH=nosuchhost
configure/CONFIG:54: configure/os/CONFIG.nosuchhost.Common: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `configure/os/CONFIG.nosuchhost.Common'. Stop.

Not nice but points in the correct direction.
