My understanding is that you want to run a command if any of the targets are out of date, but only once, not once for each target.
Yep, entirely correct.
Indeed, an interesting idea to touch the config file and turn the dependencies around.
BUT:
a) It will only work when updating an existing set of files, not with creating them initially ("No rule to make target 'a.txt' needed by 'abcd.conf'")
b) It will not produce correct results in my case, as the same config file is used by several different scripts to generate targets (sometimes only one, sometimes 256 in one go)
I found a solution. Not nice, but I have to generate the makefile anyway...
Looks like GNU make re-evaluates all targets after each run of a rule. Lets see how it copes with all ~8500 rules of the project...

Hi All
I need to parse the target
something like:
ifeq '$@' 'first'
echo 1 $@
endif
ifeq '$@' 'second'
echo 2 $@
endif
The thing is to be able compare the target string to any string and then do the commands
Thanks a lot

Hi All
I am creating a makefile and I want to do a clean section.
In the clean section I would like to check if the file exists and then delete it.
I always have an error 'unexpected end of file'
What's wrong in it?
