.PHONY: install install: foo/bar/baz
.PRECIOUS: %/.
%/.:
mkdir -p $(@)foo/%: ./% | foo/.
@echo foo/%
touch $(@)foo/bar/%: bar/% | foo/bar/.
@echo foo/bar/%
touch $(@)bar/baz:
which produces the following output:
$ gmake mkdir -p foo/. foo/% touch foo/bar/baz touch: creating `foo/bar/baz': No such file or directory gmake: *** [foo/bar/baz] Error 1
If the makefile is changed to:
.PHONY: install install: foo/bar/baz
.PRECIOUS: %/.
%/.:
mkdir -p $(@)foo/bar/%: bar/% | foo/bar/.
@echo foo/bar/%
touch $(@)bar/baz:
it works as expected:
$ gmake mkdir -p foo/bar/. foo/bar/% touch foo/bar/baz
I had thought that the better-matching rule would be the one used. Is there a bug here? What do I need to do to get this to work the way I want?
Thanks, Noel
