and another thing :) your build example could be done using call+force just as readily in the past as you have it now.
my setprops example (30 targets depend on setprops, which should run only once unless forced otherwise) is broken and i'm not sure how to fix it. basically, it seems depends= can't be trusted to run only once in any target because possibly this target may have been "called", in which case its dependency behaviour is different than if it wasn't called. might as well say depends= don't count and always use <call if= force= />. OK. i AM sorry for gripping. languages can/should evolve and things WILL get broken and it's just life. however in this case, i think we just exchanged one convolution for another, except that now i have to refactor a bunch of code that was leaning on this basic MAKE idea that dependencies run once (and i'm not sure yet HOW to fix it). boohoohoo poor little ol' me. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Jean Rajotte > Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 11:08 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Nant-users] Incorrect dependency evaluation? > > > so, you're saying : CALLing a target forces to execute its > dependencies. > > does this cascade to the dependencies' dependencies (etc) ? > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program. > Does SourceForge.net help you be more productive?
