Is there any way to cause make to exit without error?
Hi Jim,
For this problem, I think this might work
SHELL=/bin/ksh (or bash)
target: dependency return 1
Same as /bin/false (returns non-zero for scripts)
Regarding what you're trying to do ... I have a 9200 object, million line executable that I need to build. Big source hierarchy, multiple copies of source files. Over the last 5 years I've put together a way to deal with this. It doesn't require any auto-generated included makefiles anymore -- the way I deal my complexity is using something like
$(foreach ....,$(eval $(call ....)))
I can actually use this to create a macro for each object, so instead of referring to $(OBJDIR)/long/path/to/file.o, I just use $(file.o). With clever ordering of the directories, I end up redefining this macro to be the correct path to the correct source name. For instance, if there is a dir1/file.c and a dir2/file.c and I want file.o to be created from the dir2 source, I put dir2 last in the foreach list so that it overwrites the dir1 definition.

Right at least we're talking from the same type of boat... Yeah right now I have a bunch of for eaches and relative things for each part of the tree, but a> this would have vastly improved the speed of compiling most of a compiled tree (it did, when it worked and was hand-massaged), but ahh well - looks like I can't cache this at this time. b> I dunno something like that...
