Follow-up Comment #4, bug #31326 (project make): ``or something like that''
Yeah, you wouldn't always do it and you'd have to decide on a case-by-case basis when it might be appropriate. So, several options for this: * wont-fix because the trouble/benefit ratio isn't good enough * consider an error-message-to-what-it-means doc, though today's Googling gave a better answer than last fall. But since Google results vary and can degrade and not everyone can phrase queries in a way to get top results for best answers, a "we may do that some day when we find spare time" response sounds reasonable to me..... * identify messages that may need explanation and implement: make --explain="multiple target patterns" instead of a separate doc. That would be a Cool Thing. * a cheapie implementation: errno=0; if (fork() == 0) system("$BROWSER http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gnu+make+%22multiple+target+patterns%22 "); exit(errno); _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31326> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
