when I run gmake a then it would return with an error code of 1.
Why? This seems like a perfectly normal example to me. What's the error?
I would like gmake to print the target that was being built ie, b and it
was trying to satisfy the condition for a so gmake should print b and a.
If I run gmake c then it should return the goals
b and c.
Read this article that I wrote on tracing Makefile execution. That
should give you what you are looking for:
