Hi, please consider the following Makefile:
t1: ; @echo specific rule for target $@ ifeq (,$(UNEXPECTED)) %: ; @echo expected anything rule for target $@ else %: all ; all: ; @echo unextected anything rule for target $@ endif I very much like its behaviour in the ifeq clause, as only the most specific rule is executed: $ make t1 specific rule for target t1 $ make t2 expected anything rule for target t2 But its behaviour in the else clause seems to be rather unexpected to me: $ make UNEXPECTED=true t1 unextected anything rule for target all specific rule for target t1 $ make UNEXPECTED=true t2 unextected anything rule for target all make: `t2' is up to date. Can anyone help? I'd like to see the same output in both cases, if possible. Or is the current behaviour intended?
