$(eval within conditional causes "missing `endif'" error

Hello, may I ask for the plans to address bug #775 (which as I understand it would at once fix #108)? The suggested solution (which matches what we determined) seems rather simple to implement, and there does not seem to be any risk (incompatibility) with doing so... Thank you, i.A. Jan Beulich

Hello, while something has changed from 4.3 to 4.4 in the dealing with intermediate files, the example Makefile below still doesn't work as expected. There are two pairs of *.[ch] files generated, each by their respective rule. Each of the *.o files to be compiled from the *.c ones has a dependenc
