Description
Hi,
currently the build logs are highly cluttered with warning messages such as:
Make/Grass.make:423: warning: overriding commands for target ... Make/Grass.make:414: warning: ignoring old commands for target ... Make/Script.make:47: warning: overriding commands for target `install' Make/Rules.make:99: warning: ignoring old commands for target `install'
e.g. using the 6.4.3svn wxGUI g.extension.py to install an addon shell script creates this output in the GUI output window:

Installation of <r3.in.xyz> successfully finished
but if you "grep -v 'warning: .* commands for target'" away the useless warnings that gets reduced to this:
Fetching <r3.in.xyz> from GRASS-Addons SVN (be patient)... Compiling... /bin/sh: cannot create /home/hamish/dev/grass/svn/grass64svn/dist.i486-pc-linux-gnu/locale/scriptstrings/r3.in.xyz_to_translate.c: Directory nonexistent sed: couldn't flush stdout: Broken pipe Installing... Updating metadata file... Installation of <r3.in.xyz> successfully finished
... much more informative and you have a much better chance to spot any real errors which may have happened along the way.
- what does it mean?
- if it is benign, can we make it go away without masking any real problems?
thanks, Hamish

Replying to glynn:
The "install" target in Rules.make recursively runs "make install" for each directory in $(INSTALL_SUBDIRS). AFAICT, nothing ever sets that variable, so the target is pointless.
see r38564, r38565. apparently it was for the i.pr/ collection of modules in addons svn.
How to install groups of modules (like gipe or i.pr) using an automatic download+compile tool like g.extension.* is still an open question.

Replying to hamish:
It means that you have multiple rules (with commands) for a single target (in this case, the "install" target). The last rule defined is used, any others are ignored.
The "install" target in Rules.make recursively runs "make install" for each directory in $(INSTALL_SUBDIRS). AFAICT, nothing ever sets that variable, so the target is pointless.
