Not exactly sure what you mean with the duplication other than the
comment in the last rule being wrong. One rule is for copying from
jdk/lib and the other from images/lib. Both sources contain files that
are going into the image.
I thought you were only allowed to define one recipe per target? Or
are we going to find disjoint sets of files in each location?
These wildcard based targets and dependencies still cause me some
confusion. I don't understand what process make follows to actually
determine what the real set of targets is.
My assumption is that the sets are disjoint yes. I'm not completely sure
of the process either, but figured that as long as the sets are
disjoint, it will be fine. Also, if they are not, we have a problem
regardless imo.
So the process is, as I understand it, for every file that matches the
dependency pattern a target for that file, in the output-location, is
created and the recipe then copies from src to destination.
As you say the two sets of input files should be distinct so there are
no duplicates in the set of targets formed. (Though if you don't do a
clean before rebuilding with this patch applied things might get a bit
confused :) ).
I do agree I might have gone a bit too wild with the pattern targets in
this case though.
:) Not sure how else you could define these generic copying routines.
Thanks,
