Debugging build issues

[Philip Prindeville]

Hi,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a build by doing -j1 V=sc, but every time I do this several packages get rebuilt unnecessarily, such as Kea.

I can't tell if it's rebuilding because a dependency is being rebuilt or what.

Is there a guide to troubleshooting why something might get built every time?  I suspect that there's an artifact that gets created in the directory (in the unpacked source tree) and not in the .pkgdir/ or apk-aarch64_cortex-a53/ or ipkg-aarch64_cortex-a53/ or ipkg-install/ subdirectories.

This is a meson project.

Thanks
