Limitations

+ +

No software is perfect.

+

It’s very important, when evaluating and when using a tool, +to understand its limitations, so as to avoid making mistakes +and wasting valuable time.

+

This chapter lists all known limitations of Erlang.mk.

+
+

Erlang must be available

+
+

Currently Erlang.mk requires you to install Erlang beforehand. +Installing Erlang is not always easy, particularly if you need +a specific version of Erlang for a specific project.

+

In addition, the Erlang being used must be in your $PATH +before you use Erlang.mk.

+

In the future we envision, Erlang.mk could manage the Erlang +version you need to use a project. Erlang.mk already does this +for running tests when using make ci, so doing this during +development is just a step away.

+
+
+
+

Spaces in path

+
+

Erlang.mk will currently not work properly if the path to the +project contains spaces. To check if that is the case, use the +command pwd.

+

This issue is due to how Makefiles work. There might be ways +to solve it, we have not given up on it, but it’s very low +priority considering how simple the workaround is.

+
+
+
+

Dependency tracking and modification times

+
+

Erlang source files that depend on other files will have their +modification time updated when they need to be recompiled due +to a dependency having changed. This could cause some editors to +think the file changed when it didn’t.

+

Erlang.mk must use this method in order to be able to compile +files in one erlc invocation. The benefits greatly outweigh +the issue in this case and so there are currently no plans to +fix this behavior.
