Bugs and limitations

Known bugs:

• The line immediately following a command is ignored. The best work-around is simply to leave a blank line after each command.
• The line immediately following a rule with no command is ignored. This has to be fixed.
• Option-dependencies will not be processed in terminal rules. For example, the rule

  sources: % :: SCCS/s.% --recursive
  	exec sccs get $@
  

  will not be recursive, since the fact that it is a terminal rule prevents --recursive from being updated.

  (Specifying the option on the command line still works.)

tclmake is not supposed to be a replacement for make. With that in mind, here are some features of other make implementations that tclmake does not support.

• Non-recursive variables.
• Appending to variables.
• Filtering functions.
• The VMAKE variable.
