Hi, We are using make 3.81 under CygWin (Windows XP SP2).
I have the following makefile: "test.make": ------------------8<--------------------- VPATH := ../dir/ all: a .SECONDARY: a: b b @echo "compile" ../dir/b: ------------------8<--------------------- I am getting the following: $ mkdir ../dir $ touch ../dir/b $ make -f test.make make: Circular a <- b dependency dropped. compile $ Of course a depends on b, but why depends b on a? When only one b is on the a line, the message isn't shown, when the .SECONDARY: is missing it isn't shown and when the b file is placed under ./dir the message is also not shown. yours sincerely, Johannes _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
