As Paul said, the only way to do this is to make always a prerequisite
of every target. It turns out that it isn't that hard to do.
Consider:
deps := dep1 dep2
all: $(deps);
echo all
dep1:
echo dep1
dep2:
echo dep2
# make always a prerequisite of every target listed in $(deps)
$(foreach d,$(deps),$(eval $(d): always))
.PHONY: always
always:
echo always
#EOF
Making always a .PHONY target ensures that it is run every time the
makefile is run.
