Hello, I found the below problem using GNU Make 3.79.1. What do you think?
Don't hesitate to get back to me for more details or to ask me to run more experiments. You can download the testcase files from http://michaelo.free.fr/gnu/make/make_feb21_2002.tar.gz Cheers, Michael. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GNU Make dependency problem testcase ------------------------------------ Reported by Michael Opdenacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feb 21, 2002 Makefile -------- step1: touch $@ step2: step1 touch $@ step3: step2 touch $@ step4: step3 touch $@ step5: step4 touch $@ How to reproduce the problem ---------------------------- > /bin/rm step* > make -t step5 > /bin/rm step1 > make -t step5 I get: touch step1 touch step2 make: `step5' is up to date. I expected to have: touch step1 touch step2 touch step3 touch step4 touch step5 make: `step5' is up to date. Additional info --------------- - I am using GNU Make 3.79.1 on GNU / Linux Mandrake 8.1 - I also observed this with GNU Make 3.79.1 on Sun Solaris 8. - With Sun Solaris 8 /usr/ccs/bin/make, this doesn't happen. -- Michael Opdenacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] GNU Project home: http://www.gnu.org/ GNU Typist home: http://www.gnu.org/software/gtypist/ Personal home page: http://michaelo.free.fr/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
