Open jwillemsen opened 1 year ago

With GNU make 4.4 we get the following warning a lot when compiling ACE/TAO

/home/johnny/ACE/trunk/ACE/include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU:294: warning: pattern recipe did not update peer target '/home/johnny/ACE/trunk/ACE/man/mann/libACE.so.7.0.10'.

Good opportunity to refactor this chunk of the makefile and clean it up. I think it's simple enough to put the "recipe" part into a variable and make separate rules for the various patterns.

Tried the suggestion from stack overflow but that didn't work, testing #2225
