Hi,
Is the order of definitions and actions in makefile important ? I'll
explain. For example:
VAR1= ...
VAR2=...
clean: ...
...
VAR3= $(shell ....)
make_dep: ....
.....
Will VAR3 be calculated (= executing the shell command) ONLY for make_dep ?
or does the make parser first calculates all definition and then starts
checking for actions ?
(I guess that:
make_dep: VAR3 =$(shell ....)
make_dep: ...
....
will do it ONLY when make_dep is checked.)
This may be a matter of efficiency.
Yossi
