While trying out aliases, to make "make x.ccc" work, I discovered the need for a null rule: %.ccc:%.bbb; %.bbb:%.kml; some_command $? $@
which can also be written %.ccc:%.bbb #one TAB on next line: %.bbb:%.kml some_command $? $@ Of which, emacs will say Suspicious line 2. Save anyway? (y or n) OK. I learned a new thing today, use ";" or ";:" or "\t:" on that ccc line. Just an observation. $ apt-show-versions make make/unstable uptodate 3.81-8 _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
