Hi, For a chain of implicit rules, make creates intermediate files, which it removes afterwards. Could make use named pipes (mkfifo) to run the two commands (producing and consuming the intermediate file) in parallel?
If the intermediate file will not be removed for any reason (e.g. named as an explicit target or declared .SECONDARY), then a regular file would be used.
