error_table(delete_errs) produces this:
all:: delete_errs.o
depend delete_errs.o:: delete_errs.c delete_errs.h
delete_errs.c delete_errs.h: delete_errs.et
$(RM) delete_errs.c delete_errs.h
compile_et delete_errs.et
clean::
$(RM) delete_errs.c delete_errs.h
The first two lines are unnecessary, and indeed, the second one screws
up Make and causes it to report:
Inconsistent rules lines for `delete_errs.o'
after "make depend" has been run.
If I want error table dependencies, I'll put rules in to create them
explicitly. The error_table should just be creating the error table.
I also fail to see why "all" should depend on the object file from the
error table, even if (for example) there is a rule for an error table
in an Imakefile but I have since stop using that error table in my
program.
