We auto-generate the list of supported configuration variables from 'Documentation/config/*.txt', and that list used to be created by the 'generate-cmdlist.sh' helper script and stored in the 'command-list.h' header. Commit 709df95b78 (help: move list_config_help to builtin/help, 2020-04-16) extracted this into a dedicated 'generate-configlist.sh' script and 'config-list.h' header, and added a new target in the 'Makefile' as well, but while doing so it forgot to extract the dependencies of the latter. Consequently, since then 'config-list.h' is not re-generated when 'Documentation/config/*.txt' is updated, while 'command-list.h' is re-generated unnecessarily: $ touch Documentation/config/log.txt $ make -j4 GEN command-list.h CC help.o AR libgit.a Fix this and list all config-related documentation files as dependencies of 'config-list.h' and remove them from the dependencies of 'command-list.h'. $ touch Documentation/config/log.txt $ make GEN config-list.h CC builtin/help.o LINK git Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@xxxxxxxxx> --- Makefile | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 5a022367d4..2c41f125e0 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -2151,13 +2151,13 @@ $(BUILT_INS): git$X config-list.h: generate-configlist.sh -config-list.h: +config-list.h: Documentation/*config.txt Documentation/config/*.txt $(QUIET_GEN)$(SHELL_PATH) ./generate-configlist.sh \ >$@+ && mv $@+ $@ command-list.h: generate-cmdlist.sh command-list.txt -command-list.h: $(wildcard Documentation/git*.txt) Documentation/*config.txt Documentation/config/*.txt +command-list.h: $(wildcard Documentation/git*.txt) $(QUIET_GEN)$(SHELL_PATH) ./generate-cmdlist.sh \ $(patsubst %,--exclude-program %,$(EXCLUDED_PROGRAMS)) \ command-list.txt >$@+ && mv $@+ $@ -- 2.31.0.346.g7485d9830f
