in the latest edition of "managing project with gnu make" from
o'reilly, on p. 14, there is a makefile snippet i had never noticed
before:
$(Program): build_msg (OBJECTS) $(BUILTINS_DEP) ...
... regular commands here ...
.PHONY: build_msg
build_msg:
@printf ... building $(Program) ...
the text reads:
"Because the printf is in a phony target, the message is printed
immediately before any prerequisites are updated."
really? does being a phony target move you to the front of the list
for processing, chronologically speaking? i had never read that
before. clarification, someone?
