No, that's not what I was saying. The above doesn't use pattern rules. You must use pattern rules for what I said to work for you. > This is still inefficient, because, if the user wants to make both > goals: goal1 and goal2, the recipe will be attempted twice. Because you didn't use pattern rules. Only for pattern rules, GNU Make knows to invoke the recipe only once. > I only want one attempt. I want make to know goal1 will be made as a side > effect of goal2. Then make that a pattern rule. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
