If I understand you then you want to use $(file) to get around the commandline length limit? In this case I think you could put the directory in as its own target with an order-only dependency on it. Or you could use $(mkdir) from extramake :-). If the directory is another target then you will ensure it gets done before $(file). Another option is to $(shell mkdir ...) in the body of the script if it doesn't matter to you that the directory is always created. Regards, Tim
