The next make invocation would not know that the previous one did not complete and would assume that the build product %.html or %.xml are up to date. Ideally if we can persuade asciidoc to output to its stdout, we could do this: rm -f $@+ $@ $(ASCIIDOC) --to-stdout ... | sed -e $(script) >$@+ mv $@+ $@ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
