Hello, I watched the next feature: If I use '-include <non-existent_file>' and then set this <non-existent_file> as dependence to building target, the make exits with error code 2 but without any textual error message. I found it in GNU Make version 3.79.1. How to repeat: #!/bin/sh cat <<EOF >Makefile -include not_existent_file all: not_existent_file ; echo MAKING EOF then run 'make' - no output, run 'echo $?' - output: 2 -- Yaroslav M.
