When using the "-include filename"(instead of just "include filename"), if this filename includes dependencies that are missing, makefile does not show those missing dependencies...
For example, if using: -include foo.d with foo.d being: foo.o: foo.c xxx.h Let's say xxx.h does not exist (and cannot be generated) , the make fails, but it does not say it's because of xxx.h missing. If instead, this is used: include foo.d then it works fine... I understand that the '-' in front of include means that THIS file 'foo.d' should not itself generate an error, but I would expect the content of foo.d to be used normally.... Looks like a bug to me. Btw, I am using make 3.81. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-include-filename-does-not-show-correct-dependency-errors-tp21699973p21699973.html Sent from the Gnu - Make - Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
