Follow-up Comment #6, bug #15757 (project make): Further to...
The structure of these makefiles is such that make has a global view of everything, but if I type make with no arguments it will build all the targets and their prerequisites for the current directory (including those prerequisites from outside the current directory). If I do this in the directory which was failing I don't see the problem but if I build the target everything which depends on targets for the current directory the problem occurs. This leads me to believe that it is not the particular combination of rules for the directory which is causing the problem, but the shear overal complexity of working with the dependencies for the whole source tree. Are there any fixed sized buffers etc you can think of which may limit the code size make can work with? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15757> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
