Hi all,
how can I force make to "sort" targets that were given as arguments?
e.g. I want to type at prompt
make object obj=test copy_object
What should happen:
object gets executed and afterwards copy_object gets executed
Well yes - I could write a rule like
copy_object: object
[....]
In general prerequisites are the way to achieve this with make
But this would mean that object gets executed also if I did not give
it as an argument to the make command.
This can be done by using finer grained prerequisites, e.g.:
object: my_file.o
copy_object: my_file.o
this would ensure that whatever copy_object needs will be there - and
similarly that whatever object needs is there.
I don't need a general handling of the sequence of the arguments only
for this special rule I want to have it executed after all other rules
(also with -j - not parallelized with the other stuff.
Any ideas?
