Re: have a problem mixing Make and java.

[richard t]

hmmm not sure if I understand you so let me know where
I might be going astray...

here is an example showing multiple targets...

x.class y.class z.class : x.java y.java z.java
   javac -g $< 

I guess I understood that the "$<" would match each 
source file that needed to be compiled? 

so commands would be:

   javac -g x.java
   javac -g y.java
   javac -g z.java

if it only matched the first then that would explain
why I got:

   javac -g x.java
   javac -g x.java 

that seems a bit counter-intuitive but I think I
understand you...

now on to the other part that you mentioned... the
"$^" macro, so based on the make line toward the top
of this e-mail, it would match?:

  "$^" = x.java y.java z.java 

so this would produce the following command?:

   javac -g x.java y.java z.java

I would also assume that I could use the "subst" to 
create the package names for each source file?
(that would be quite useful...)


let me know if I understood you correctly...?

thx!
