Summary: gmake does not check for the existence of a file before complaining it is missing Project: make Submitted by: schily Submitted on: Wed 08 Jul 2020 02:59:25 PM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: None Operating System: None Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: A file that has been created by a program that has more than one output file is not handled correctly by gmake. Depending on how the rules are written, either the program is run twice or a depending rule that needs the created file incorrectly complains that the file does not exist. gmake should check for the time stamp of a file whenever it actually needs the file and believes it does not exist or is outdated. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58734> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
