I THINK I did that, but I think the problem is that the files get patched fast
enough that both the input and output files end up with the same update times
and 'make' interprets that to mean that the output file needs updating...
I suppose I could add a post-patch target to the port Makefile to touch the
generated file. Actually, the patch that I already submitted to bring the
port up to nmh-0.15 already has such a rule:
# Since we patch the autoconf files as well as their outputs, avoid attempt
# to regenerate header input files with 'autoheader' by Makefile.
post-patch:
echo > ${WRKSRC}/stamp-h.in
but it hasn't been committed yet. And to be really safe, there should
probably be a 'sleep 1' at the beginning, but (assuming my guess as to what's
happening is correct) that ought to reduce the likelihood of needing to run
autoheader.
