Follow-up Comment #8, bug #29074 (project make): one more data point, from the gcc man page: -MP This option instructs CPP to add a phony target for each dependency other than the main file, causing each to depend on nothing. These dummy rules work around errors make gives if

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #29074 (project make): I thought I'd take a look at the source, so I did a git clone, the INSTALL doc says to do the standard ./configure; make ... there is no file configure, there is a configure.bat, what am I missing?

The INSTALL document is for people who just download the standard source tarball. I suspect there's a README.git for people doing a git clone; at least there used to be a README.cvs for CVS users. -David Boyce On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 4:15 PM, dave kerns invalid.nore...@gnu.org wrote:

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #29074 (project make): I have a slight variation of this bug; when the included file (included with the -include) runs into a rule problem, make silently stops and does nothing. I argue it should give the same error that it does without the -. this make file will

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #29074 (project make): I agree with Hack Lee. There was a bug before 3.81. You wouldn't want make to fall over on an -include $(sources:%.c=%.d) in the Makefile because of a source error when you're actually running make clean The behavior of GNUmake 3.81 is correct.

, but it is a surprise that the behavior has changed drastically, and we've been using 3.81 for over 2 years now. hslee --- On Tue, 3/16/10, Edward Welbourne e...@opera.com wrote: From: Edward Welbourne e...@opera.com Subject: Re: [bug #29074] -include target fails to issue Error in 3.81 To: psm

So there was a bug before 3.81, since they issued an Error in this case. And the bug was fixed in 3.81. Is that what you are saying? I think this misses the objection. include done = is looking for a file named done and fails since no file named done. -include done = is building a target

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #29074 (project make): It was ok (meaning correctly issue an Error) until 3.81beta1. We scratched our head wondering why the makefile would not give an error even though there is clearly an error. So it is not backward compatible and we need this to be fixed in 3.81.

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #29074 (project make): Quoting from the make 3.81 manual: quote If you want `make' to simply ignore a makefile which does not exist and cannot be remade, with no error message, use the `-include' directive instead of `include', like this: -include FILENAMES...
