I have a need for a build system that operates like this: a.prm b.prm : prerequisite commonbuildrule
However, I've found that gnumake, [EMAIL PROTECTED] sim]$ make --version GNU Make 3.80 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. wants to execute the build rule for each of a.prm and b.prm. However, I don't want this to happen. Not only is this a want, but it is a need, since the build rule takes several minutes to execute (and in my actual situation, there are many targets, not just two). Is there a way to accomplish my goals using make? --Randy _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
