Hi,
is that a bug or a feature?
I have a makefile like this:
-----8<----
all: all_targets
%.u:
touch $@
an.u: source1
comp1: an.u
an.u: comp2
another.u: source2
comp2: another.u
all_targets: an.u another.u
-----8<----
Actually, the middle part is a generated dependency that gets included
at that point. The idea was that a missing comp2 should have triggered
the making of another.u, instead, given the following files
Makefile an.u another.u comp1 source1 source2
make says that...
Prerequisite `source1' is older than target `an.u'.
Prerequisite `comp2' of target `an.u' does not exist.
Must remake target `an.u'.
touch an.u
Thus, it always remakes an.u an never another.u.
Is this a bug?
Otherwise, why does it make an.u even if a prerequisite is missing?
Any help?
TIA
Ale
