Re: A bit of a makefile.frag situation...

Is there a way to check for files during make and delay further processing until they're all generated?

    Yes, you put such files as dependancy for the other file's build rule.

The *nix build system, on the other hand, generates the 8 base gen_* files from ext/gtk+/Makefile.frag, and then compiles them during ext/gtk+/config.m4. This approach caused a problem in the *nix build when gen_gtk.c included gen_gtk.h before it existed. Andrei addressed that problem by not including the gen_*.h files at all. This is fine for building PHP-GTK 2 itself, on either system, but of course the library produced in this way no longer contains PHP-GTK 2 exports. (The gen_*.h files consist solely of PHP_GTK_API extern PHP_GTK_EXPORT_CE() declarations). That means we can't build PHP-GTK 2 extensions any more, on either system.

    Tell me how to reproduce the problem and I might be able to fix it too.
    (this explanation does not make any sense to me)
