Hi, I have the following files in a directory. main.cpp Makefile print.hpp
The content of each file is listed below this message. After I run make, I will get main.cpp compiled and the file '.dep' will be generated. The content of .dep will be main.o: main.cpp print.hpp Now, I change .dep manually (say with vim) to the following. main.o: main.cpp print.hpp additional.hpp Then I run make again. I will get the following error message. make: *** No rule to make target `additional.hpp', needed by `main.o'. Stop. I'm wondering how to automatically update .dep if make gets such error. Thanks, Peng #############Begin Makefile .PHONY: all all: main.exe main.exe : main.o $(CC) $< $(LOADLIBES) $(LDLIBS) -o $@ -include .dep .dep: @$(CXX) -MM main.cpp > $@ #############End Makefile ///////////////////////////Begin main.cpp #include "print.hpp" int main() { print(); } //////////////////////////End main.cpp /////////////////////////Begin print.hpp #include <iostream> void print() { std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl; } //////////////////////////End print.hpp _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
