The rule: $(SCRIPTDIR)/%.py: %.py | $(SCRIPTDIR) $(INSTALL) $< $@ should be changed to: $(SCRIPTDIR)/%.py: %.py $(MAKE) $(SCRIPTDIR) $(INSTALL) $< $@ Simply removing the "|" will cause the directory to be treated as a normal dependency, so the script will be re-installed whenever the directory's timestamp is newer than the source file (i.e. always, as executing the commands will update the directory's timestamp). Order-only dependencies (those after the "|") don't affect whether the target is considered out-of-date, but if it is out-of-date for other reasons, any order-only dependencies will be re-made before executing the commands. -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
