Possibly but I don't think so. In order for it to match, the patterns have to match. If the target matches "foo.min.js" so that the pattern is "foo", then the prerequisite can't be "foo.min.js" as well. It can only be "foo.js" So, if your prerequisites of "all" are foo.min.js and bar.min.js, no confusion results: it will try to build based on foo.js and bar.js. Certainly if you do something like "all: $(wildcard *.js)" then badness will ensue... but no one would do that right? > > Is it possible to combine the two rules with the minify command into a > > single rule? > > Now wait a minute - i thought YOU were the one here with all the answers!
