If I have the rule % : gen%
(without a rule), make won't work - it says "no rule to build file $*". If I say % : gen% .PHONY : % make won't work - it simply skips the pattern rule. I want to make a dependency chain based on a pattern rule, without the pattern rule target necessarily being a file. Why can't I do this? Or how could I do this? -- % Randy Yates % "I met someone who looks alot like you, %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % she does the things you do, %%% 919-577-9882 % but she is an IBM." %%%% <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> % 'Yours Truly, 2095', *Time*, ELO http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
