Hi,
Is there any option to print a stack trace of all rules that gnu make
has passed before it broke?
I'll explain better, my makefile is:
all: 1.foo 2.foo 3.foo
@rm -f *.bar
%.foo : %.bar
@echo $@ needs $<
%.bar :
touch $@
Running it yields:
$ make
touch 1.bar
1.foo needs 1.bar
touch 2.bar
2.foo needs 2.bar
touch 3.bar
3.foo needs 3.bar
If I remove the last rule (%.bar) it stops with the error:
$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `1.foo', needed by `all'. Stop.
when in fact the problem is that 1.bar cannot be made therefore 1.foo
cannot be made and all broke. Is there a make option that shows
something like this:
$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `1.bar', needed by `1.foo'...
make: *** No rule to make target `1.foo', needed by `all'. Stop.
So I'd know exactly what happened and where it broke instead of digging
into complex nested makefiles with lots of includes.
I'm using GNU Make 3.80 on Linux 2.6.9-22.ELsmp x86_64.
thank you!
