Follow-up Comment #5, bug #18139 (project make): Boris, I don't see why %.o being intermediate makes a difference. Make can and does chain implicit rules. I re-read the section on chaining and I don't see anything that would contradict the basic premise of chaining, which is that the length of the chain doesn't matter, only the order in which they're defined in the makefile. Of course I could be forgetting something.
I realize that just because someone works differently in 3.81 doesn't mean it's broken; however in this case I really do think that 3.80 was correct... unless, as I mentioned, I'm missing some special case. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18139> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
