Hi,
This is related to
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=104345 except
that I am filing it as a bug. The following makefile works fine
*good.mk
*default: bin/a.out
bin:
mkdir $@
bin/a.out: a.c | bin
touch $@
*bad.mk
*default: bin/a.out
bin:
mkdir $@
bin/%.out: %.c | bin
touch $@
The first time I run "make -f good.mk" it creates bin and bin/a.out. The
second time does nothing, which is correct.
The first time I run "make -f bad.mk" it creates bin and bin/a.out. The
second time it creates bin/a.out, which is incorrect since bin has already
been created and is an order-only prerequisite.
Cheers,
\\Marc
