I'm not sure what aspect of your mail software is causing your messages to be sent twice, about 8 minutes apart, but it would be helpful if you could disable it. > It would be difficult for me to share the exact Makefile as its quite > complex having around 70-80 targets. We have no interest in your exact makefile. What I suggested was that you create a makefile that (a) works and (b) shows the problem you're seeing. I'm talking about a SSCCE: http://sscce.org/ For GNU make problems you don't even need source code, you can replace compilers with "touch" statements or sleep statements or echo or whatever. > The thing is each target is itself having various subdirectories and its > calling recursive submakes on those as well via the > script which we are passing in "$(NOERR)+cd $(DIR) && time ./<script>" > > We are calling make for 2 archs (x86 and arm) , so in all there should be 6 > invocations when make is executed for > 3 targets ( a , b ,c) where one of those is a dependent target. > But in our case only 4 invocations happens for a,b respectively and c is > totally ignored with the reason > "Dependencies commands running (THIS IS A BUG)" Without an actual example I can't be sure how you have implemented this, but one thing to note is that make will only ever run any given target one time within a single invocation of make, no matter how many times it appears as a prerequisite. So for example if you have: all: foo bar foo: c bar: c then "c" will only be built one time per invocation of make, even though it appears as a prerequisite to two different targets. Marking targets PHONY has no impact on this: they're still only built once. If that doesn't help explain the behavior you're seeing, you'll need to provide a working example. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
