永远重拍PHONY静态规则目标

Question

我现在已经摸不着头脑了一个小时,谷歌证明其用途有限.我有一个包含图形的报告的Makefile.图形由目录图形/中的.plot文件表示,gnuplot用于从它们生成.tex和.eps文件.然后使用ps2pdf从.eps生成pdf,最后\includereport.tex中的命令将图形.tex包含到文档中,该文档再次包含图形.pdf以将图形放在最终的report.pdf中.

我有一个正确构建所有内容的Makefile,但出于某种原因,每次运行make时都坚持重新生成report.pdf.通过输出读取make -d显示,Make说:"必须重新制作目标mp-int-2.4-ni'." and "Must remake targetmp-int-2.4-i'." 每次运行,但这些都被宣布为PHONY,因此除非他们依赖的东西发生变化,否则不应重新制作.或者至少我这么认为？

有关可能导致此问题的任何想法,以及我如何避免每次都重新制作最终的PDF文件？

Makefile文件

GRAPHS := mp-int-2.4-ni mp-int-2.4-i

.PHONY : $(GRAPHS)
.PRECIOUS : graphs/%.pdf

report.pdf: report.tex $(GRAPHS)
    # ...

$(GRAPHS): %: graphs/%.pdf graphs/%.tex

graphs/%.pdf: graphs/%.eps
    # ...

graphs/%.tex graphs/%.eps: graphs/%.plot
    # ...

make -d 在make之后已经运行了

在下面的Etan Reisner回答之后使用Makefile:

GRAPHS := mp-int-2.4-i mp-int-2.4-ni
GRAPHS_WD := $(addprefix graphs/,$(GRAPHS))
REAL_GRAPHS := $(addsuffix .pdf,$(GRAPHS_WD)) $(addsuffix .tex,$(GRAPH_SWD))

.PHONY : clean

report.pdf: report.tex $(REAL_GRAPHS)
    # ...

graphs/%.pdf: graphs/%.eps
    # ..

graphs/%.tex graphs/%.eps: graphs/%.plot
    # ..

Answer 1

PHONY规则是您告诉make的规则与实际文件不对应的规则,因此它不检查文件是否存在,因此它始终假定规则需要运行,因此report.pdf具有更新的先决条件(这是输出告诉你的).

make文档说"虚假目标不应该是真实目标文件的先决条件;如果是,每次make更新该文件时都会运行其配方." [参考文献]

您将这些文件标记为PHONY的目的是什么？
