I remember a chat I had with Paul Smith on the gnu-make list.
Basically, he suggested that if I *had* to use a syntax common to all
makes then the only way was
.C:.ui
$${HEADER}=... \ (can't remember the syntax ;-)
$(UIC) $(UICFLAGS) $< -o $${HEADER} \
$(UIC) $(UICFLAGS) -impl $${HEADER} $< -o $@
Ie, generate the header file as a by-product of generating the .C
file. Could I get you to investigate this some more? That would leave
only the "%_moc.C: $(srcdir)/../%.h" rule to think about more deeply.
