Cumulative Dependencies

Dependencies are cumulative in a description block if a target is repeated as follows:

This...	...is evaluated as this
`bounce.exe : jump.obj bounce.exe : up.obj echo Building bounce.exe...`	`bounce.exe : jump.obj up.obj echo Building bounce.exe...`

Multiple targets in multiple dependency lines in a single description block are evaluated as if each were specified in a separate description block, but targets that are not in the last dependency line do not use the commands block as follows:

This... ...is evaluated as this

This...	...is evaluated as this
`bounce.exe leap.exe : jump.obj bounce.exe climb.exe : up.obj echo Building...`	`bounce.exe : jump.obj up.obj echo Building bounce.exe... climb.exe : up.obj echo Building climb.exe... leap.exe : jump.obj # invokes an inference rule`


bounce.exe leap.exe :
jump.obj
bounce.exe climb.exe :
up.obj
   echo Building...


bounce.exe : jump.obj
up.obj
   echo Building
bounce.exe...
climb.exe : up.obj
   echo Building
climb.exe...
leap.exe : jump.obj
# invokes an inference rule
