This isn't really a question about makedepend, although that is what I am using to handle include file dependencies.
The issue is that makedepend, unless you specify -f<some file name> will put its output in the current makefile, unless I am mistaken. That creates problems if the makefile is under version control (keeping generated data under version control isn't a good idea IMO, quite aside from the case where different users have different path structures for system include files). So what I wanted to do was use 'makedepend -f Makefile.dep' and then just 'include' that file. But it doesn't work: ,---- | $ make all | Makefile:38: Makefile.dep: No such file or directory | make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.dep'. Stop. `---- I'm not sure. Should I simply create a rule to generate the file? How do other people deal with this case? _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
