Re: Initialization targets

[Rafael Garabato]

Thanks Paul for your response. Just another short question: if I wanted to submit a new feature which I may develop my self, who should I contact to see if they are interested in officially including it to the make?

Thanks again,
        Rafael.

Not as such.  The only way to do that is to make it a prerequisite of
every target.

However, if you just want some scripting executed every time make
starts, you can use:

 _dummy := $(shell <some scripting>)

See the GNU make manual.
