Dependency creation order

[Simon De Groot]

Hi,

I'm used to Solaris make (from hereon called 'solmake'). It will try to 
create dependencies in the order of appearance in the dependency list. 
gnumake does not guarantee this, especially when there are a lot of 
patterns involved.

I would like to specify a dependency high in the make hierarchy, which is 
to be created before descending into the dependency trees of the other 
dependencies. Otherwise, I would have to include this 'global dependency' 
in many target rules. How can I do this with gnumake?

Regards,
