I was using a Makefile to generate load commands for saber.
Saber noticed a '.o' file in the same directory, which was older than
the '.c' file there. Saber then offered to recompile, with the only
answers being 'y' and 'n'. I assumed this meant it was going to run
make to generate the .o file.
I typed 'n', and it tried to load the .o file, which was for another machine
type; it obviously failed.
Why was it trying to load the .o file anyway? The saber command issued
by make was to load the .c file!
excerpt:
Loading: -I../.././include encrypt_tk.c
load: Warning: 'get_in_tkt.c' has been modified after 'get_in_tkt.o'.
Loading: -I../.././include get_in_tkt.o
[the last line was the y/n question until I answered it; saber erased
the question like usual]
