Hi,
I need to ensure that a certain tool is generated before any reciepes are
executed for a certain extension. To better understand what I need, consider
the following makefile:
xxx.ext:
./tool
xxx.ext: tool # This works as expected.
#$(wildcard *.ext: tool) # Why doesn't this cause "tool" to be made before
xxx.j is made, as the line before does?
tool:
echo touch xxx.ext > $@
chmod 755 $@
Please consider that I have a few tousands of files, being handled in almost
hundred sub-makefiles. Thus I don't want to add this dependency eveywhere.
Thanks for any ideas,
Christof
