Each subtarget in this file is going to be +made recursively unless there is a switch RECURSE=0. If the switch is available, +for each subtarget all its prerequisites should be made earlier than the subtarget itself. +Therefore, you should order the ALL target's prerequisites so that they are going +to be built in a consistent order. Unfortunately there's no automatic process for it, +just prove the prerequisites for each subtarget and push them forward in target's ALL +prerequisites list. The changes between generated & optimized all.mak can be seen when +comparing the files from v1.5 & v1.6 of makefiles.zip. |
