So I have a Makefile that has some dependencies:

Quote:
...

$(MODULE_OUTPUT_DIR)SS_Items.so: $(MODULE_DIR)Module.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/SS_Items.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/SS_Items.cpp
$(CC) $(MODULE_FLAGS) -I$(MODULE_DIR) -o $(MODULE_OUTPUT_DIR)SS_Items.so $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/SS_Items.cpp

...

$(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/SS_Items.h: $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Antiwarp.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Brick.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Cloak.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Gun.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Portal.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Rocket.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Thor.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Bomb.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Burst.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Decoy.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Mine.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Repel.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Stealth.h $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/XRadar.h

...


Then when I edit a file, let's say Gun.h, and do "make", it doesn't remake SS_Items.so. What gives?

Here's the relavent portion of the "make -d" log:

Quote:

No commands for `../Modules/SS_Items/SS_Items.h' and no prerequisites actually changed.

No need to remake target `../Modules/SS_Items/SS_Items.h'.


Is there something I'm not getting about makefiles?

I don't write Makefiles very often. It is either a one-lined GCC command or I use autoconf/automake. But it looks to me like you don't actually have a command to update the file. You know, the following line, the thing it is complaining about? Thus, it knows the file needs to be updated, it just doesn't have anything to do it.

But doesn't need to update the .h file, that's what programmers are for. The command is to build a .so file and I'm listing the dependencies. It's not complaining about anything, it just doesn't rebuild the .so file when I do "make"; I end up having to delete it before it relizes it needs to recompile it.

It seems to note that one of the dependencies of the file has changed, then proceeds to say that none of them have.

Oh mmm... I think I kinda see what you mean. What's the fix?

Make it touch SS_Items.h or list all those things as dependencies of SS_Items.so. There is probably a better way, as I don't do makefiles often.

That's the way I would do it:
Code: Show/Hide
$(MODULE_OUTPUT_DIR)SS_Items.so: $(MODULE_DIR)SS_Items/Gun.h

Hmm the touch thing seems like a good idea...

I'd do it that way Smong, except that in the more general case, let's say Modules.h depends on some files and every module uses modules.h, I'd end up having to add all those files to every module...
