I’m beginning to think that this may be the way to go. The article that Matt linked makes some good points about when dependency files actually need to be updated. I hadn’t considered those points before and they lead to something different from what the GNUMake manual suggests as far as building the dependency files. Implementing those ideas will require me to rework some of what I’ve been doing, but also would open up the possibility to do things like analyze the stderr from the compilation for messages which clearly identify the output. ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Fr.
