Re: including files

[bhaskar . g]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the answer. I have the following problem.

I am generating a *.d file for every *.c file.

I have a rule to generate the *.d file as mentioned in the Manual.
Then in the *.d file i am generating the information as the following

*.d *.o: *.c *.h

Example:

-include dependency.d

dependency.d : src/test.c
      $(run_deps)

in the dependency.d file i have the following

dependency.d test.o: src/test.c inc/test.h

Now while using the --new-file option. The dependency generation keeps looping.
Is this a known bug.

Making dependencies for test.c
Making dependencies for test.c
Making dependencies for test.c
Making dependencies for test.c
Making dependencies for test.c

regards
bhaskar

Sort of.

After make reads all the makefiles, it tries to regenerate any that seem
out of date.

After checking all the makefiles, if any of them have actually been
regenerated, make will re-run itself from scratch.  So, the next time it
runs it will read the new content.
