This functionality fits to my advanced software build needs partly. I find the section “Static pattern rules versus implicit rules” also interesting in the documentation. https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Static-versus-Implicit.html But it seems that another important detail is missing in this comparison. * How do you choose the desired pre-requirements? * Which file names would you specify for the parameter “prereq-patterns”?
