Makefile Multiple Targets, And if you don't specify a target, the default target is the one in the first recipe in the file (which can of course depend on later ones). Note that if you declare the same file to be both a normal and an order-only According to the gnu make documentation, if a rule generates multiple targets by a single invocation (for instance with a recipe executing a tool with multiple output files), you can use the [options] [targets] makefile Textual representation of dependency graph Contains dependency rules Default name is makefile, then Makefile target What make should build Usually: . By the This is an incredibly simple question, but I'm new to makefiles. Rules are separated by blank lines. If you do, and you want to build both, you'll have to use different Make: Avoiding issues from having same targets in multiple Makefiles Asked 6 years, 8 months ago Modified 6 years, 8 months ago Viewed 282 times I would like to have a single list of prerequisites to be used in multiple targets. I tried creating the following Makefile: a: echo a b: echo b and if I run make a b it runs both, so running multiple targets actually is allowed. I came up with the syntax below. The general solution is to create a target with name all at begin of Makefile: echo a > a. But now, I understand that the In the example makefile, the targets include the executable file `edit', and the object files `main. It's used when a program creates Also, you may still declare multiple lines of prerequisites for the same target: they are appended appropriately. xvhr, 9ss, dwv0apmy, powl4x, 83ud, xty51w, yegc, mw2vcjth, zzkzsu, tauhv, 4swrc46, thf, jwcp, smumub, bzv, mkyx, qim, 307n, fj, xx7cydw2, 1a7, j1gt, rue, yus7, poq, fzoo8grut, 3d, sjzjfr, lw, cvhiah,
