Hi,
For a chain of implicit rules, make creates intermediate files, which it
removes afterwards. Could make use named pipes (mkfifo) to run the two
commands (producing and consuming the intermediate file) in parallel?
If the intermediate file will not be removed for any reason (e.g. named
as an explicit target or declared .SECONDARY), then a regular file would
be used.
Cheers,
Shaun
