implicit prerequisite bad assumptions

2000-06-10 Thread Gianni Mariani
It seems the attached Makefile will fail for a clean build. I read through the docs and it seems that there is nothing that says this should not work. The problem is a invalid assumption that if a implicit prerequisite's directory does not exist at the beginning then it must not be a candidate.

GNU make 3.79 fix for nanosecond timestamps on 64-bit Solaris sparc

2000-06-10 Thread Paul Eggert
64-bit Sparc Solaris has 64-bit time_t, 64-bit uintmax_t, and file timestamps with nanosecond resolution. For hosts like these, GNU make 3.79 ignores the nanoseconds part of file timestamps, as the 64-bit time_t value occupies all of the uintmax_t objects that GNU make uses to store time stamps.
