That's a good thing to do but the work may be duplicative. See https://github.com/boyski/SYNCSH. Take a look and tell me if you think it's worth comparing notes in order to get the best of both. > If I have time and interest, I will look into implementing the wrapper > functionality into make itself. Don't hold your breath, though. Similarly, almost the same thing has already been done and a patch exists against 3.82 which I hope will make it into 3.83. See http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33138. There's also a long thread in the bug-make archives from around the same time (4/2011) discussing it. -David Boyce _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
