I am doing simple codegen with makefile. File gen.c is generated from
gensrc.c. The example below works correctly and gen.c is generated
when gensrc.c has more recent timestamp
test: gen.c
gcc -o $@ $<
gen.c: gensrc.c
# here goes some codegen command
However in the example below gen.c is generated even if gensrc.c is
older than gen.c. That is target 'prebuild' is always considered as
not up-to date. Why is it so?
.PHONY: prebuild
test: gen.c
gcc -o $@ $<
gen.c: prebuild
prebuild: gensrc.c
# here goes some codegen command
