Getting the list of make targets by default is pretty nifty. As is not having to preface everything with PHONY.
Do any of these make alternatives reinvent the paradigm? No, but they do offer some quality of life improvements I wish were within reach without jumping through hoops.
- enriquto 4y agoWhat's the problem with ".PHONY" ? Just the name ? Would it be alright for you if it had a different name, like "INTERFACE" or "COMMANDS", or "NOFILE" ? I never thought about .PHONY as a workaround to anything. Just a slightly unnecessary annotation that you may add to the makefile if you want to be pedantically correct.
