(one of probably several newbie-level questions trying to clarify some issues regarding gnu make.)
is there any value to defining your own suffix rules give that pattern rules subsume suffix rules? i mean, apart from backward compatibility, if i'm starting a completely new project, and can set it up the way i want, is there any reason *not* to use pattern rules exclusively, and just undefine all of the suffix rules with .SUFFIXES: just to make sure i have no unexpected implicit rules? IOW, given that pattern rules exist, is there any point to using the older and simpler suffix rules at all? rday _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
