Hello, When I include submakefiles with
-include foobar I would like for make to just read the file if there is one, and do nothing otherwise. Do not consider "foobar" to be a target or anything else. Just read it if there is one, no other action. Bart Robinson wrote here that to get of rid of implicit rule search, one can use: foobar: ; Yes but I already use "make -r" so this does not help. make still tries looks at "foobar" as a target, and tries to find if it should update it; with thousands of such "targets", it is an efficiency problem. Myself I found a rule to prevent looping, that can be used here: foobar:: ; This works better, less time is spent than with one colon, but still, some time is spent by make on this "target". How do I force make to not spend _any_ time on foobar being a target?? Mark
