Hi. Say I've got a library of code that I actively maintain in ~/ libdir and some code that depends on the library in ~/codedir. If I make a change in ~/libdir but do not run make there, I'd like to be able to check that when building things in ~/codedir, and make the library in ~/libdir and the targets in ~/codedir that depend on the library. The process might look something like this:
cd ~/codedir make # cd ~/libdir && make # if make was needed, then remake targets in ~/codedir In essence, I'd like to make running another makefile a prerequisite to a target in ~/codedir/makefile. If the prerequisite results in making updating anything, then the target should be updated. If the prerequisite shows that the library was already up to date, then the target is updated only if some other prerequisite causes it to be updated. Does this make sense? Is this possible in GNU make? Thanks for any help! - Chris _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
