hence the reason why my example had:
noSuchFile:
: dummy command on unix
I have also used the variation of setting a dummy shell variable:
noSuchFile:
comment="dummy command to force build"
If you are worried that someone will create a file called "FORCE"
or ".PHONY" or whatever, simply use a more complicated name. I use
noSuchFile, but you could have thisFileMustNotExist or some other
name that you are never likely to create accidentally. Anyone who
then creates that file manually is a complete wazzock...
