make env weirdness

[rachelfenn]

I've had a problem with make env saying there is nothing to be done when in fact there is something that needs to be done.

I wonder if the problem is that nothing has changed in the repo, so the make command believes that there are no changes to be built, but what I need to use make env for is installing. I often see this on the very first install - I run make env, it says nothing to be done, and then the dependencies don't get installed unless I run make -B env.

Perhaps we should split up the install commands and the build command?

Hey @rachelfenn , @benlebrun is currently on a big push for GenLM so I'm fielding PRs for now. Do you want to give this a go? LLM-assisted would be my go-to as I'm not Make-literate these days.

Yes, I can implement this, I was just looking for approval on the direction from Ben. This isn't urgent and I can chat with him when he's got time.

@rachelfenn see #94 ; you can use the make refresh_env target. I think the problem is that the genparse.egg-info directory already exists.
