Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27497 (project make): Ah, I see.
It would be nice if the documentation were clearer here. In particular, the "Double-Colon Rules" section could explain the other meaning of the double-colon, and say when it applies (which is not mentioned explicitly anywhere that I can see). Currently the "Double-Colon Rules" section flatly contradicts various other parts of the manual in as far as it relates to pattern rules. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27497> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
