Given this simple makefile
start: dir/a.c
dir/%.c: %.c | dir ; cp $< $@
dir/%.c: foo.h
dir: ; mkdir $@
a.c foo.h: ; touch $@
I'm seeing the following when I run make:
touch a.c
mkdir dir
cp a.c dir/a.c
This is surprising; my expectation is that the dependency "dir/%c.:
foo.h" would force "foo.h" to be created as well. Is this a bug or
correct behavior? My reading of the manual has led me to believe it's
a bug, but since it's not explicitly addressed in the manual, I'm not
completely sure.
Thanks very much for any responses.
Derek
