Hi,
I would like to be able to write parallel rules with disjunctive semantics eg
%.tar : %.tar.Z
unzip $<
%.tar : %.tar.gz
gunzip $<
Which would only run gunzip if there was a .gz file
and only unzip if there was a .Z file and either one
if both were present.
Is there a way to do this in make?
I know that :: rules allow many rules for the sam target, but treat them
conjuctively (ie all rules fire).
I would like a way to say fire a single rule that can successfully
bottom out.
thanks
Daniel
