Soft dependencies
Typically you will define dependencies among your targets using the ==>
and <==
operators, and these
dependencies define the order in which the targets are executed during a build.
You can also define soft dependencies among targets using the ?=>
and <=?
operators. For example, you might
say that target B has a soft dependency on target A:
1: 2: 3: |
|
With this soft dependency, running B will not require that A be run first. However it does mean that if A is run (due to other dependencies) it must be run before B.
Example
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: |
