How do I define dependency relationships?
Paul is just saying that you have to create rules for all the files
that
your build deals with. Dependency relationships are defined, as you
may already know, with the following syntax.
target: prerequisite
In the vernacular of the build world, 'prerequisite' is a dependency
of
'target'. There is a dependency relationship between 'target' and
'prerequisite'.
Ken
OK, if I define this relationship:
target: prereq1 prereq2
and execute make with -j option is there any chance that prereq2 is
processed before prereq1?
