Hopefully this will go to the Jamming list but I am not quite sure of the address... (perhaps the welcome message which I carefully stored should include the address to send messages for distribution to since I assume that list...@perforce.com isn't correct).

Anyway, quick problem that I am trying to resolve: I have an program with dependencies on several sources, e.g.

Image fred : x.c y.osl f.frm ;

In order to build this I require the following dependencies/actions to happen:

- - fred.exe should depend on all the sources. - - y.osl should be "compiled" to produce y.osq in the target dir - - x.c and f.frm should just be present in the target dir

The actual build (Ingres W4GL image) takes place via a single command which performs its own form of Make - compiling things where necessary.

I have tried creating rules based on Object and Objects, but am hampered by the fact that the various sources don't all compile to things with a common suffix.

So far my Image rule/action correctly performs the final build command, but it is missing the intervening action to "compile" y.osl.

Anyone already addressed similar things?
