Upstream bsc have a new GNUmakefile which is substantially different from the kind that cheribuild expects. Adjust our build rules to suit. Currently we don't build the documentation since that implies lots of Latex dependencies, that aren't strictly necessary to use the bsc compiler

It looks like latest version support out-of-source builds, if we can use that instead we can avoid changing clean().

There's no 'make clean' target in the upstream source - can we make sure that an out-of-source build won't try to call it?
Edit: correction, there is. Let me see why that wasn't working...

If you remove build_in_source_dir = True, the following might be sufficient:
| self.make_args.set(PREFIX=self.install_dir) | |
| self.make_args.set(PREFIX=self.install_dir, BUILDDIR=self.build_dir) |

It turns out their out-of-tree build is broken. bsc/src/Libraries sets its own BUILDDIR, to be [sourcetree]/build/bsvlib, which is overriden by ours, and then Libraries' wildcarded calls to the 'install' command fail because they're trying to install directories (from the wrong place). I think that's fixable upstream but somewhat messy, so perhaps in-tree is good enough for now? In which case we need to prevent cheribuild calling 'make distclean'

Maybe I should just remove the distclean workaround and always use git clean for in-source clean. For now using this seems fine.

I wonder if it works if you set BUILDIR in the environment instead of on the make command line?

Is this still needed? |

The current version with recent changes is working for me, so closing this PR. |
