make defines several target attributes. Attributes can be assigned to a single target,
a group of targets, or to all targets in the makefile. Attributes affect what make does
when it needs to update a target. You can associate attributes with targets by
specifying a rule of the form:
attribute_list : targets
This assigns the attributes in attribute_list to the given targets. If you do not specify
any targets, the attributes apply to every target in the makefile. You can also put
attributes inside a normal rule, as in:
targets attribute_list : prerequisites
The recognized attributes are:
.EPILOG
Insert shell epilog code when running a group recipe associated with any
target having this attribute set.
.IGNORE
Ignore an error when trying to make any target with this attribute set.
.LIBRARY
Target is a library.
.PRECIOUS
Do not remove this target under any circumstances. Any automatically
inferred prerequisite inherits this attribute.
.PROLOG
Insert shell prolog code when running a group recipe associated with any
target having this attribute set.
make
.SETDIR
Change the working directory to a specified directory when making
associated targets. The syntax of this attribute is .SETDIR=path, where path
is the pathname of desired working directory. If path contains any :
characters, the entire attribute string must be quoted, not just the
pathname.
.SILENT
Do not echo the recipe lines when making any target with this attribute set,
and do not issue any warnings. You can use any attribute with any target,
including special targets.
