I have a GNU make question, actually:

How this should be read ?
$(dir $(call gb_AutoInstallLibs_get_target,%)).dir :
        $(if $(wildcard $(dir $@)),,mkdir -p $(dir $@))

We use rules to automatically create directory hierarchies for file
targets in gbuild. This is the rule for creating the top-level directory
of the AutoInstallLibs class in $(WORKDIR). There is a line like

So I was right in my reading, ty.

$(call gb_AutoInstallLibs_get_target,$(1)) :| $(dir $(call gb_AutoInstallLibs_get_target,$(1))).dir

elsewhere in the makefile, that creates the (order-only) dependency.

Note that $(dir $(call gb_AutoInstallLibs_get_target,%)).dir expands to
$(WORKDIR)/AutoInstallLibs/.dir , so this is not a pattern rule. If
there were any hierarchy needed in the directory, the rule would be
accompanied by

$(dir $(call gb_AutoInstallLibs_get_target,%))%/.dir :
        $(if $(wildcard $(dir $@)),,mkdir -p $(dir $@))

Then what is the purpose of the % in the $(call and the $(1) btw, since get_target already knows until AIL ? Is it just so all get_target vars are built in the same way ? Even if this is the case the % is a mystery for me.

Regards
