> That is, I'm OK with make recognizing that the strings "./foo" and "foo" refer to the same file on the disk for the purposes of determining out-of-dateness etc. but I don't think make should be changing the value of $@.
AMEN. So, would it get fixed :) Like I said, I got a Linux kernel break precisely due to that. I may have to follow your advice at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?10708 >Please don't top-post. ? I am not sure what you mean. I don't "top-post". Top-posting is where you put your reply and then quote the original messages in its entirety below. I don't do that because it is lazy, causes undue network traffic and shows disrespect to the reader. I don't have a particular reply style, I just trim and interleave as seems appropriate to get the gist of the reply together with that is being replied to. > On the other hand, what should make do if it sees two rules like: ./foo: ; @echo with dir foo: ; @echo without dir Can you elaborate?
