[gridengine users] recursive qmake and updating makefiles

[Andrew Joplin]

I've written a makefile that contains a rule for generating additional makefiles to include. It seems to run fine with make - it tries to include the appropriate makefile, doesn't find it, so it generates it first. Then it runs the target(s) specified by the included makefile. But when I run it with qmake, it says "No rule to make target". I've boiled it down to this simple case:

Makefile:

include $(MAKECMDGOALS:%=%.mk)
%.foo:
    touch $@
%.mk:
    echo "$*: $*.foo" > $@

Run with make:

~$ make -f Makefile bar --debug=m

Thanks!

It looks like a qsh job is spawned to generate bar.mk, which finishes successfully, but then qmake just keeps going instead of re-running, so it doesn't actually load the newly generated bar.mk. Is there a trick to this?
