Sure. Here is a subset of the actual Makefile: ----BEGIN---- OPENSSL = openssl KEYSIZE = 2048 SUBJECT = /CN=foobar .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES: %.key: $(OPENSSL) genrsa -out $@ $(KEYSIZE) %.req: %.key $(OPENSSL) req -out $@ -key $< -subj $(SUBJECT) -new -batch carbon.req: carbon.key hydrogen.req: SUBJECT = /CN=hydrogen.example.com hydrogen.req: myrsa2048.key ----END----When 'make carbon.req' is executed, 'carbon.key' is first created if not already present (first pattern rule), and then 'carbon.req'
However, when 'make hydrogen.req' is executed, 'myrsa2048.key' is not taken into account since the pattern rule is meant to match 'hydrogen.req: hydrogen.key'.
The only solution I found so far is to use canned recipes instead of pattern rules. But that's not that elegant...
There is probably a complicated way to most (but not all) of what you're trying to do. Can you give a more detailed example that's closer to your actual use case?
