Follow-up Comment #6, bug #60595 (project make): I understand that today, make won't throw an error.
I'm saying that _after_ we fix this issue so that make recognizes that a file needed to be rebuilt, then make could throw an error. Put another way, in my mind the fact that an included file can't be read is separate from the process make may use to rebuild the included file. Or to be specific if, after make has tried to rebuild all the makefiles and determines that it doesn't need to re-exec itself, it's still the case that some makefile which _should_ have been read in _could not_ be read in, then that seems like an error to me regardless of whether make invoked some rule to build the makefile or not. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60595> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
