I thought that being able to jump to the rule in the makefile would be helpful, but in the end I think it ends up being more annoying (especially because the pathname is not always right, and so Emacs often can't find the makefile anyway). So, I combined these two lines into a single line which won't be recognized by normal error line parsers (such as Emacs) but can still be interpreted (hopefully) by users who want to find the rule: make: [Makefile:22: target] Error 1 etc. This will be in the next release. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
