Version +* A new feature exists: order-only prerequisites. These prerequisites + affect the order in which targets are built, but they do not impact + the rebuild/no-rebuild decision of their dependents. That is to say, + they allow you to require target B be built before target A, without + requiring that target A will always be rebuilt if target B is updated. + Patch for this feature provided by Greg McGary . + * A new function is defined: $(quote ...). The argument to this function is the _name_ of a variable. The result of the function is the value of the variable, without having been expanded. -- cgit v1.2.3
