Hard to help you "fix" this without the details, but you might want to have a look at the dynamic property support that I added recently. > > might as well say depends= don't count and always use <call if= force= > />. No, quite the opposite : use depends as much as possible, and only use the <call> task when you want to re-execute the complete stack ... > > 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). dependencies indeed run only once ... only when you explicitly choose to run a specific target again, the dependency chain will be walked again ... > boohoohoo poor little ol' me. If you send me a simple example of your build file, I'd love to help you out ...
