A rebuild of SifDec may turn out to be necessary whenever SifDec informs the user that the workspace dimensions need to be increased--a rebuild may also turn out to be necessary whenever prototype files are modified, or in general, whenever any basic file is modified. SifDec itself usually issues warning messages whenever the workspace is insufficient, urging the user to increase a particular (set of) parameters. These parameters may be tuned in sifdec.siz, which can be found in
$MYSIFDEC/precision/config
where precision is either `single' or `double', according to your installation. For the change to take effect, SifDec needs to be cast and compiled again. Assume the Solaris installation is modified.
All the user needs to do to make sure he or she rebuilds everything that needs to be rebuilt is change to the directory $MYSIFDEC and issue a
prompt% make -s all
make then takes care of everything and rebuilds whichever targets depend on the updated files.
