reading o'reilly's make book and i'm confused about something on p.
14 regarding PHONY targets:
$(Program): build_msg ... other targets ...
...
.PHONY: build_msg
build_msg:
@printf blah blah
below this snippet, it reads:
"Because the printf is in a phony target, the message is printed
immediately before any prerequisites are updated."
really? i thought there was no way to guarantee the order of
dependency processing. are phony targets special in this respect? or
is the book just wrong?
