I have a Makefile that builds 2 libraries.  Library A must be built before library B, because B depends on A (important for dynamic builds on Windows).  What is the rule I need to add to force A to be built before B? 

 

 

This is the actual Makefile.  bitshuffle_hdf5.lib must be built after bitshuffle.lib.

 

TOP=../..

include $(TOP)/configure/CONFIG

ifeq ($(WITH_BITSHUFFLE),YES)

  ifeq ($(BITSHUFFLE_EXTERNAL),NO)

 

    LIBRARY_IOC = bitshuffle

    BITSHUFFLE = $(TOP)/supportApp/bitshuffleSrc

    USR_CFLAGS_Linux += -std=c99

    USR_CFLAGS_WIN32 += -DLZ4_DLL_EXPORT=1

 

    INC += bitshuffle.h

    INC += bitshuffle_core.h

    INC += bshuf_h5filter.h

    bitshuffle_SRCS += bitshuffle.c

    bitshuffle_SRCS += bitshuffle_core.c

    bitshuffle_SRCS += iochain.c

   

    SRC_DIRS += $(BITSHUFFLE)/lz4

    INC += lz4.h

    bitshuffle_SRCS += lz4.c

 

    ifeq ($(WITH_HDF5),YES)

        LIBRARY_IOC = bitshuffle_hdf5

        bitshuffle_hdf5_SRCS += bshuf_h5filter.c

        bitshuffle_hdf5_SRCS += bshuf_h5plugin.c

        bitshuffle_hdf5_LIBS += bitshuffle hdf5

    endif # ($(WITH_HDF5),YES)

 

  endif # ($(BITSHUFFLE_EXTERNAL),NO)

endif # ($(WITH_BITSHUFFLE),YES)

I tried this rule, which would only work on Windows, but it did not work.

 

bitshuffle_hdf5.lib: bitshuffle.lib
