I meant by that the entire sequence of commands that remake one target, including any of recursive invocations needed for that. So I guess we are back at square one, which is a pity. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
