[bug #42599] .RECIPEPREFIX should not have to be at beginning of line

2014-06-27 Thread Dave Yost
Follow-up Comment #2, bug #42599 (project make): Yeah, I realized later that there is an ambiguity problem. The obvious answer is to allow the prefix char if it is preceded by exactly the same whitespace as the rule line. I think that's worthwhile.

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #24723 (project make): I should have said Make should have a syntax to express that all targets of a multiple-results rule are created as a group by a single execution of the command(s). ___ Reply to this item

[bug #9062] Need access to pathname of Makefile

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #9062 (project make): A reminder: this bug is a request for a variable whose value is the full path of the directory containing the Makefile, regardless of what the current directory is or how it got that way with -C, etc. There has been much discussion of the current

need access to Makefile path

2004-05-17 Thread Dave Yost
Consider a Makefile that starts thus: include ../../../Makefile-master It would be nice if this included Makefile-master knew where it was, so it could do stuff like this: root := $(MAKEFILE-PARENT-DIR) classesDir := $(root)/classes I use this unsatisfactory workaround:

dump the putative Makefile

It would be nice to be able to invoke make so it dumps out the Makefile as it will run, after includes, and optionally, with all variables expanded that can be expanded statically. Thanks Dave ___ Bug-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This Makefile define foo endef oops complains that the oops is missing a separator. Fine so far, but it reports the line number as 2 instead of 3. gmake is otherwise awesome! Thanks Dave ___ Bug-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
