Follow-up Comment #3, bug #30370 (project make): The major issue here, besides the effort involved of course, is finding a syntax or format that is backward compatible, at least enough to avoid breaking a lot of makefiles.
I also have to say that the request at stackoverflow.com and the request you make below are actually fundamentally different; it appears you are looking for a programmatic way to create large numbers of explicit rules, that is more flexible than existing static pattern rules. The request at stackoverflow.com appears to be looking for a much more flexible method of defining pattern rules, where there can be multiple patterns in both the target and prerequisite lists. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30370> _______________________________________________ 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
