Hello,
I would like to start a program by using a make rule. I know that compilers and
so on are all programs. The ones that I want to start do not finish and so
don't send an error code back and as much as I have seen make then just waits
for the error code to come. Here is an example:
my_rule:
program1.exe arg1 arg2
program2.exe arg1 arg2
This should start program1 and leave it running and then start program2 and
leave it running.
But what I see is this:
program1 starts and nothing else happens. When I manually stop program1 then
program2 starts.
Another very good thing would be to have a rule like this:
my_rule:
stop program1
stop program2
If they are not running it should do nothing, maybe the '-' prefix will do this?
(using make 3.81 under WinXP)
Thank you for any help
