Not /exactly/ top_targets... But I was getting close
Really, it seems best not to mess with top_targets at all. I started looking for an empty section that, ideally, was a target anyway. /*dynamic*/ fit the bill. In fact, I had to stub it out with a comment to keep the make from erroring out with /"don't know how to make dynamic"/... I think it's running dynamic because it found wgrib.c -- even though I had dynamic in the SKIP section. Anyway, this works and the dist builds right on Linux FreeBSD and windows. This means I can stop messing with the make part and finish the distro for release. sub MY::dynamic { ' dynamic :: $(INST_ARCHAUTODIR)/wgrib.exe @$(NOOP) $(INST_ARCHAUTODIR)/wgrib.exe: $(C_FILES) --tab-- $(CC) -o wgrib.exe wgrib.c --tab-- $(MKPATH) $(INST_ARCHAUTODIR) --tab-- $(CP) wgrib.exe $(INST_ARCHAUTODIR) '; } [/items/Perl] permanent link
