GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
I expected an include directive to behave exactly as if the contents of the
included file was inline in the Makefile. But I'm seeing a case where it's
not.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, having the wrong expectations,
or it's a bug.
As the following shows, when using an include, I get an extra "Nothing to
be done for `all'." At least, I wasn't expecting it.
It's almost like, after processing the include, and performing the action,
make reinvokes itself.
Oh. Just did a test, and if I put a dummy command in for all:
all: second-all
:
Then it works as expected.
Comments?
Thanks,
