Hi all
I'm looking for a feature or technique in GNU make - I'm not sure
what it might be called, and it might be achievable only with other
commands.
Basically, I want to concatenate a series of targets in the parameters
of a rule command. As a f'rinstance: If I have a set of .A files, and
a command AtoB which generates .B files, such that
AtoB 1.A # creates 1.B
AtoB 2.A # creates 2.B
and
AtoB 1.A 2.A 3.A 4.A # creates 1.B, 2.B, 3.B and 4.B
My question is, how can I specify a rule so that *all* of the
changed .A files are invoked on the AtoB command line - ie if 1.A, 2.A
and 3.A are changed, I want make to invoke
AtoB 1.A 2.A 3.A 4.A
rather than
AtoB 1.A
AtoB 2.A
AtoB 3.A
Thanks for your thoughts.
