I am having difficulties to implement the following rule in BSD make: to
produce file foobar.o, then start from foobar.adb if it exists, foobar.ads
otherwise. I want this to be compatible with both BSD and GNU make.
I tried:
.SUFFIXES: .adb .ads .lo
.adb.lo:
<command>
.ads.lo:
<command>
but make prefers the .ads.lo rule instead of the .adb.lo, despites the
order in the .SUFFIXES. Using "make -d s" to trace dependencies and rules,
I get:
SuffFindDeps (broca-exceptions.lo)
trying broca-exceptions.S...not there
trying broca-exceptions.adb...got it
using existing source broca-exceptions.ads
applying .ads -> .lo to "broca-exceptions.lo"
broca-exceptions.adb has been found and should have been used, but
this "using existing source" message (coming after!) bugs me. The wrong
rule is then being selected.
Any hint of where it can come from?
