Sorry about the previous makefile. Here's a better one:
a:
touch a
b:
touch b
all: a b
gzip:
-gzip a
-gzip b
What I want to do is optionally add 'gzip' at the end of my target list.
gzip can't have any prerequisites because I might only want to build a, or
only build b. I was just hoping to have some error checking so that if
gzip was present and wasn't the last target, it could be moved to the last
target. I tried manipulating MAKECMDGOALS but it appears that variable is
for reference only. Is there a way to change the order of the goals from
within the makefile or am I best off just exiting with a warning if the
targets aren't in the order I need?
