Can changes in a makefile trigger a rebuild?

Can a makefile decide to rebuild a project if it (the makefile) has changed since the latest build? Note, this would probably require make to have a -M option so that included makefiles are also taken into account. Angel Tsankov [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Environment variables

Hi, some people in the office use GNU make 3.79.1 on Windows 2000 machines. They also set the environment variable MAKE_MODE to DOS. I got interested and tried to find out what other variables influence the behaviour of make, but did not find anything in the documentation. A grep through the

distributed compile is avaliable?

Hi, I’m a programmer from Korea. The size of our source is about 1G, and it takes 1 hour to compile fully. I am using ‘make’ to compile it, and I’d like to improve the compile speed using distributed compile. Does ‘make’ support distributed compile? Or can another util do it? My

You should read the GNU Make manual (http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html), and you might also want to read about automake (http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/). -- I shrivel inside each time [Star Wars] is mentioned. -- Sir Alec Guinness

Re: distributed compile is avaliable?

IIRC, there's a patch for GNU make (pmake?) that enables distributed builds. I'm not sure how up-to-date this is, though, and I've never tried it out myself. IMO, and no offense, Ken, distcc isn't great since: - it's limited to C and C++. - preprocessing is done locally which offsets much of

outputting which dependencies triggered a target action

Is there an option less verbose than --debug that outputs which dependencies triggered a target action? Thanks, Noel ___ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
