Comment 15 for bug 1669891

I have implemented the changes Michael suggested. See https://code.launchpad.net/~info-martin-konrad/epics-base/+git/epics-base/+ref/fix-make-question-mode. With these changes in place Andrew's $(COMMON_DIR) changes shouldn't be needed.

I'm having some problems testing this. I tried

mkdir testioc
cd testioc/
makeBaseApp.pl -t ioc foo
makeBaseApp.pl -t ioc -i -a linux-x86_64 -p foo foo
make --question
echo $? # should return !=0 (IOC needs to be compiled)
make
make --question
echo $? # should return 0 (nothing to do)

Unfortunately the 2nd "make --question" call still returns 1. Also note that genVersionHeader.pl doesn't seem to be called at all (not sure why). Am I missing something?
