On (info "(make) Prerequisite Types") it says There are actually two different types of prerequisites understood by GNU 'make': normal prerequisites such as described in the previous section, and "order-only" prerequisites.
So one thinks "Ah, this (two different...) must be specific to GNU Make, otherwise they would have said just 'make'." But on (info "(make) Features") (info "(make) Missing") we don't see anything related to this. So it must be part of the 4.2 BSD baseline as mentioned on (info "(make) Features"). But you got the reader worried. But then again when writing the document one can't speak for all makes... So maybe it is fine as is... OK, maybe there are compatibility warnings already placed on pages that need them. But then pages that don't need them need "compatibility reassurance notes" added. OK, don't change anything. I just wanted to let you know some readers might be worrying... (and don't want to have to dig into (info "(make) Features") (info "(make) Missing") to double check each time.) _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
