Subject: file dependencies
Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2011 20:36:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <878vwwxag8.fsf@micropit.couberia.bzh> (raw)

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
