"Always Execute" target in gnu make

GJS

2008-03-23, 7:23 pm

I am trying to duplicate the .INIT function available on the Alpha's Tru64 unix
make.

This target is always executed first when make starts up.

Is there any function in gnu make that does this, or anyway to duplicate it?

TIA

.... Greg

You could use shell function. It can be invoked before make starts
executing rules.
