Re: question about Generating Prerequisites Automatically

[Lin George]

Thank you Paul!


I have read through the section you recomemnded. But I
can not find the definition of the intermediate file.
After reading this section, the definition of
intermediate file in my mind is,

--------------------
temporary files created by implicit rules or chains of
implicit rules to build the targets.
--------------------

Is that a correct understanding? Or the precise
definition of intermediate file is located somewhere
else in GNU make manual?


regards,
George
