E.g. the if the Makefile needs to be modified, or some test-cases adjusted. How do I "get into" the build container, so I can debug, modify files, rebuild and run tests there - in a closed environment (nearly) like the build-daemon has? -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
