Hi, I have the following two Makefiles. The difference between them are that the commands are not the same. I don't understand why both rules are executed in /tmp/double_targets_different_command and why only one rule (always a, no matter what the order between a and b) is executed in /tmp/double_targets_same_command. Would you please help me understand it?
/tmp/double_targets_different_command$ make a touch a b touch b /tmp/double_targets_different_command$ cat Makefile .PHONY: all all: a b b: command.sh @echo b touch b a: command.sh @echo a touch a clean: $(RM) a b /tmp/double_targets_same_command$ make a echo 'a' > a; sleep 1; echo 'b' > b /tmp/double_targets_same_command$ cat Makefile .PHONY: all all: a b b: command.sh @echo b echo 'a' > a; sleep 1; echo 'b' > b a: command.sh @echo a echo 'a' > a; sleep 1; echo 'b' > b clean: $(RM) a b -- Regards, Peng _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
