>However the above pseudo-code is nonsensical; you obviously have some
esoteric behavior you're trying to encode here but without knowing the
I believe by "nonsensical" you mean, "does not follow Paul's rules of
makefiles". OK, that's because I was trying to distill the behaviour to the
smallest reproducible case. Here is the next smallest case that captures the
essence of what I am trying to do, and I believe follows Paul's rules.
Same behaviour as before. If foobar is newer than foobar1, then >make foobar,
updates only foobar1 but not foobar.
.PHONY: phony
foobar: foobar1
touch $@
foobar1: | resources
touch $@
resources: phony
touch foobar1
touch $@
