E.g., the following rule with .WAIT: foo: bar .WAIT baz will be rewritten as foo: bar baz bar: % baz I vaguely remember that it has something to do with prerequisites of, say, bar and baz being build in parallel: foo: bar baz bar: % baz bar: bar-1 baz: baz-1 Here, bar-1 and baz-1 can be built in parallel (is it not the case with .WAIT, btw?). Is there some non-academic example where this will cause problems? thanks, -boris _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
