Hi,
Below is a testcase where the -W option works if you specify the file
with relative path but not when you specify it with absolute path.
Thanks to all of you for an excellent utility!
Regards,
Nick
######## Bug Report #################
Consider this makefile:
####### Makefile
setup:
touch 1
sleep 10
touch 2
1 : 2
@echo making 1
####### end Makefile
Case 1
As expected when I run:
% make setup
% make 1
I see "making 1"
Case 2
If I run
% make setup
% make -W 1 1
I get "make: `1' is up to date." Again this is expected
Case 3
However, when I run
% make setup
% make -W `pwd`/1 1
I get "making 1". I expected "make: `1' is up to date."
>From my reading of the manual, it should be possible to specify the file to
be
considered infinitely new by either absolute or relative path.
