Those rules should only be visible on parser regeneration (ie. REGENERATE_PARSERS defined). make 3.82 does not seem to trigger the issue: % make -v GNU Make 3.82 % make REGENERATE_PARSERS=y defconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig' [...] The shipped file are still there: % ls scripts/kconfig/*_shipped scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c_shipped scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c_shipped scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped Thanks, - Arnaud > --- > > diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.lib b/scripts/Makefile.lib > index aeea84a..5d986d9 100644 > --- a/scripts/Makefile.lib > +++ b/scripts/Makefile.lib > @@ -167,6 +167,7 @@ ifdef REGENERATE_PARSERS > quiet_cmd_gperf = GPERF $@ > cmd_gperf = gperf -t --output-file $@ -a -C -E -g -k 1,3,$$ -p -t $< > > +.PRECIOUS: $(src)/%.hash.c_shipped > $(src)/%.hash.c_shipped: $(src)/%.gperf > $(call cmd,gperf) > > @@ -177,6 +178,7 @@ LEX_PREFIX = $(if $(LEX_PREFIX_${baseprereq}),$(LEX_PREFIX_${baseprereq}),yy) > quiet_cmd_flex = LEX $@ > cmd_flex = flex -o$@ -L -P $(LEX_PREFIX) $< > > +.PRECIOUS: $(src)/%.lex.c_shipped > $(src)/%.lex.c_shipped: $(src)/%.l > $(call cmd,flex) > > @@ -187,12 +189,14 @@ YACC_PREFIX = $(if $(YACC_PREFIX_${baseprereq}),$(YACC_PREFIX_${baseprereq}),yy) > quiet_cmd_bison = YACC $@ > cmd_bison = bison -o$@ -t -l -p $(YACC_PREFIX) $< > > +.PRECIOUS: $(src)/%.tab.c_shipped > $(src)/%.tab.c_shipped: $(src)/%.y > $(call cmd,bison) > > quiet_cmd_bison_h = YACC $@ > cmd_bison_h = bison -o/dev/null --defines=$@ -t -l -p $(YACC_PREFIX) $< > > +.PRECIOUS: $(src)/%.tab.h_shipped > $(src)/%.tab.h_shipped: $(src)/%.y > $(call cmd,bison_h) > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
