A lot of rules can come into the situation to fiddle with multiple output files easily. Examples: * Specification of standard output files and standard error channels for shell commands * The database "SQLite" can create its storage file while also exporting data to another file. * I need to split an input file into several smaller files. > Just to be clear, you cannot create new rules, or add to the targets or > prerequisites of existing rules, using $(eval ...) _inside a recipe_. I'm sorry that I needed a bit longer to realise this fact. > This means the ONLY time setting a variable from within a recipe is > helpful is if the only place you need to use that variable is INSIDE > some other recipe that has not been run yet. I imagine that conditional evaluation of recipes will be possible somehow, wont it?
