Hi Noel, > I don't suppose it should break any existing makefiles, either.
I haven't encountered any yet even though I used make with this patch to run, let's say, very unusual build systems found (to name a few) in linux kernel, glibc and ACE/TAO. > Can you foresee any situations which will break after installing > the patch? I can't think of any sane example that would break. > I understand that Paul has put a hold on any new functions since he's > trying to get Guile as _the_ scripting language within makefiles so I can > understand why lastword, useful as it is, didn't make the cut. Well, you are lucky that you understand. When I submitted the patch I wasn't aware of any guile plans and a comment from Paul explaining this would have been in order, don't you think? > IME with patches for CVS, this has more of a chance (although certainly no > guarantee) of working if there's a discussion about the feature. Sure I have no problem with that. Let's see how our recent discussion about MAKEFLAGS progresses. hth, -boris
