Re: Dependencies problem

[Paul Sander]

Make a distinction between modules and subsystems.  For this, I'll use
SA to mean "subsystem A", SB to mean "subsystem B" and so on.

Create modules for each subsystem:

subsystem-A     src/A
subsystem-B     src/B
subsystem-C     src/C
subsystem-D     src/D

Then create your modules to contain the proper subsystems:

A       -a subsystem-A
B       -a subsystem-A subsystem-B
C       -a subsystem-A subsystem-C
D       -a subsystem-A subsystem-B subsystem-C subsystem-D

There are a number of variations of this to try, depending on the
organization of your code, but this kind of factoring is the key
to accomplishing what you want.

I've got the following modules with their respective
compilation dependencies:
A depends on nothing
B depends on A
C depends on A
D depends on B and C

How to organize such a structure under CVS? Indeed, if
I set the dependencies the way it is mentioned above,
I'll get A twice when I'll checkout D in my working
dir.
