RE: was: RE: auto-dep cannot possibly work?

[Mark Galeck (CW)]

>There are a range of possible solutions: at one end is the magical holy
grail where exactly what is needed to be rebuilt is rebuilt, no more and
no less, automatically by make without user intervention under every
situation.  That is what Mark was trying to find.  At the other end of
the spectrum is throwing away make and having a shell script that just
builds everything every time.  That also gives you the right answer, so
both are "objectively correct".  That doesn't mean they are both
"right".



Yes Paul puts it very well, I agree exactly.
