Hi. The proposed patch has this:

-SOURCES      = $(shell find unicycler -name "*.cpp")
+SOURCES      = $(shell find unicycler -name "*.cpp" | sort)

which in turn becomes this:

OBJECTS      = $(SOURCES:.cpp=.o)

and finally the OBJECTS are used in this way:

$(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
        $(CXX) $(FLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) -Wl,$(SONAME),$(TARGET) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS)

Would not make sense to fix that at the CXX level? (I imagine a huge
number of similar makefiles which would have to be patched similarly).

Thanks.
