Hi
I found bug in make-3.79.1 (it accurs also in 3.78.1).
If a Makefile includes another file (Makefile.included) and if
the included file defines prerequisites for a target (or both
define prerequisites), then the prerequisites defined in the
included files a silently ignored.
I wrote a little testcase to show what I think is a bug. The
attached shar archiv contains two files `Makefile' and
`Makefile.included'. Run `make' to set up the test files and
then run `make check' to run the test. A `make show' shows
the output I expect to be correct.
I hope I could show you what I think is a bug,
Jochen
Some (maybe useful) information:
`uname -a' shows:
Linux hostname 2.2.14 #1 kernalcompiletime i686 unknown
`make --version' shows:
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i686-pc-linux-gnu
...
`./configure --prefix=/opt/make-3.79.1' creates the attached `config.h'.
