The above rule, where the RCS file is newer, does not seem to work if the
location of the RCS'd file is in a directory defined by VPATH. Enclosed is
a tar file but I'll explain the test case. The directory structure is:
drwxrwx--- alt 0 2000-03-17 17:01 make-bug2/
-rw-rw---- alt 79 2000-03-17 17:01 make-bug2/Makefile
drwxrwx--- alt 0 2000-03-17 17:00 make-bug2/foo/
drwxrwx--- alt 0 2000-03-17 17:00 make-bug2/foo/RCS/
-r--r----- alt 184 2000-03-17 16:40 make-bug2/foo/RCS/bar.old,v
-r--r----- alt 8 1999-06-07 14:29 make-bug2/foo/bar.old
The makefile is:
VPATH := foo
foo: bar.new
%.new: %.old
cp $^ $@
clean:
$(RM) *.new *.old
Typing "make" will "co" a copy of bar.old into the directory, which it
shouldn't.
$ make
co foo/RCS/bar.old,v bar.old
foo/RCS/bar.old,v --> bar.old
revision 1.1
done
cp bar.old bar.new
But if bar.old has a later timestamp than RCS/bar.old,v, "make" will not do
a "co".
$ touch foo/bar.old
$ make clean
rm -f *.old *.new
$ make
cp foo/bar.old bar.new
This is with makefile 3.78.1.
