Full Discussion: makefile head-scratcher: multiple targets in one go

Hi.

An analogy from the compilation scene -- normally you would have lines in your Makefile like:
Code:
program: main.o function1.o function2.o ... functionn.o
...
function1.o: function1.c
etc

you would not have the *.c as targets because you would have created them with an editor (with the exception of things like lex/yacc generated files, in which case you would have entered the requisite base files for them).

If you really need something to create the *.txt files, then I suggest that you create an initialization script that touches a.txt, b.txt, etc. -- which is exactly what I did: it made the initial content of the [abcd].txt files to be "0" so that a) they existed, b) had a value with which the demonstration equivalent of myscript could work.

If your solution performs satisfactorily, then use it; if not, then you might consider the suggestion above.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
