Hello, Files are stored within directories. So there is a general dependency that the directory should exist (together with an identifier) before a file can be changed.
Prerequisites for make rules can be specified in the way that their file names reference a specific build directory. I have got a few approaches in mind to convert such an implicit dependency to an explicit one for the make software. * I could check if the source file folder is different from the selected build directory. * If the desired build subdirectory did not exist, I could create it automatically. There is a choice if such a directory creation should be performed by a call of the make function “shell” or by a command in a recipe. Which design variant would you prefer for this use case?
