Haven't got any time to investigate further tonight, and I'm not sure if
this is a real bug or some misunderstanding of mine, but it doesn't appear
to be how the documentation ("info make") suggests things should work.
Here's a cut-down testcase:
-------------snip-------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/mk-test/test2> ls -lart
total 1
drwxr-xr-x+ 4 dk Domain U 0 Apr 19 18:47 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 dk Domain U 402 Apr 19 18:49 makefile
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 dk Domain U 0 Apr 19 18:49 .
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/mk-test/test2> cat makefile
ifdef ANYTHING
$(error: 1 ANYTHING is defined )
endif
ifndef ANYTHING
$(error: 1 ANYTHING is ***NOT*** defined )
endif
$(error: PLEASE give me an error. What do I have to do, for god's sake?
Beg? )
$(warning: How about an error, or is even that asking too much of your
mighty in
tellect? )
.PHONY: all force
all: force
force:
echo Does make not use aristotelian two-valued logic then? > force
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/mk-test/test2>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/mk-test/test2> make
echo Does make not use aristotelian two-valued logic then? > force
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/mk-test/test2>
-------------snip-------------
Now, shouldn't at least one of those error messages be displayed? Or have
I failed to understand that they don't get parsed because they're not
required to make sense of the targets and dependencies?
cheers,
DaveK
