I'm have some trouble with the .PRECIOUS make target. I don't want
intermediate files deleted in the event of an error or interrupt, so
I've done something like this in the Makefile:
.PRECIOUS: %.o
.c.o:
cc -c $<
---
If I run: make foo.o, then interrupt it before it's done, I get the
following message from make:
make: *** Deleting file `foo.o'
make: *** wait: No child processes.� Stop.
No matter what I do, foo.o is deleted. I am sure this worked on earlier
versions of gnumake, I'm currently using 3.78.1.
TIA,
Doug Carter
