Hi.
See below for a problem log.
I cannot believe that this is a bug because it seems so basic.
And other makes behave identical. However, I didn't found a
single line of docu on that in the online-docu (I would have
expected it, or at least a link to it, in section "Using
Variables", subsection "References" or "Flavors".)
Maybe its just my strange way of thinking. I thought that if it
is the same for recursively expanded variables to write
FOO = $(BAZ)
BAZ = baz
or
BAZ = baz
FOO = $(BAZ)
then this would apply to the order of variable definition and
rule, too. Apparently, it does not. See below.
Regards
Jens
Makefile1:
----------
FOO = foo
baz: $(FOO); @echo $(FOO):$^
Makefile2:
----------
baz: $(FOO); @echo $(FOO):$^
FOO = foo
> touch foo
baz depends on foo in Makefile1:
> gmake -f Makefile1
foo:foo
baz does *not* depend on foo in Makefile2:
> gmake -f Makefile2
foo:
> gmake --version
