Re: Dealing with commands that generate more than one target with -j

[Paul D. Smith]

First of all, if the targets to be created have a common part, you can
use a pattern rule:

    %.h %.c : a
            foo a

will work as you expect: multiple target patterns behave differently
from multiple non-pattern targets.


If you can't write a pattern rule then typically this is done with a
pseudo target, like this:

  a.h a.c: .fake

  .fake:
        foo a
        @touch $@
