file dependencies

file dependencies

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

Here comes a little feature request: it would be nice, if context
allowed us to write a file with dependency information, like a
C-compiler does for the dependencies of a C-file on the included header
files. The best would be, to get such dependencies directly in Makefile
syntax.

Example:

Say you have a main context file "main.tex" that includes an environment
file "../env.tex" and a figure "subdir/figure.jpg", then running

    context --dependencies=main.d main

would create "main.pdf" and also "main.d" with this line:

    main.tex: ../env.tex subdir/figure.jpg

Seconded. That would be cool to have.

--directives=system.dumpfiles

should do that but it's currently broken (kicks on too soon due to 
directives being initialized earlier than before) .. i'll fix it

(but no make file output, at least not now as i never used make directly 
so i have no clue what goes in there)

Indeed. That's exactly what I'd tried before sending my request.
I guess, the output file will have a special name?

That's good. It's even better, because more flexible. All we need, is
the list of included files, then you can do whatever you want in the
Makefile, for example: DEPS = $(shell cat dependencies.dump)

Thanks!
