OK, forget the previous example makefile.mk which was playing with
one.txt. Let's look at a couple that more closely resembles Perl's
win32/makefile.mk:
makefile1.mk
============
.USESHELL :
FILE = ..\tmp\foo\bar.txt
all : makefile1.mk $(FILE)
$(FILE) : make_file
make_file : ..\tmp\foo\mkbar.pl
cd ..\tmp\foo && perl mkbar.pl
makefile2.mk
============
.USESHELL :
FILE = ..\tmp\foo\bar.txt
all : makefile2.mk $(FILE)
$(FILE) : ..\tmp\foo\mkbar.pl
cd ..\tmp\foo && perl mkbar.pl
mkbar.pl
========
open my $fh, '>bar.txt' or die; close $fh;
If I run "dmake -f makefile1.mk" from C:\Temp then C:\tmp\foo\bar.txt
gets written every time, even if it is up-to-date already.
If I run "dmake -f makefile2.mk" from the same place then
C:\tmp\foo\bar.txt gets written if it doesn't exist, but not otherwise.
Furthermore, GNU make behaves the same way, which suggests I've missed
something somewhere, rather than this being a problem with dmake.
Why doesn't makefile1.mk work properly?
