Re: Writing patches for git-ignored files

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your reply.

Issuing make cmd="dmake patch" seemed to behave similar to make.

~/libo-git$ make cmd="dmake patch"

I looked at Makefile and saw this bit

#
# custum command
#
ifneq ( $(MAKECMDGOALS),cmd)
cmd:
        echo "custum cmd" && ( $(cmd) )

endif

So I tried

~/libo-git$ make cmd cmd="dmake patch"
echo "custum cmd" && ( dmake patch )
custum cmd
dmake:  Error: -- Don't know how to make `patch'
make: *** [cmd] Error 255

Am I on the right track? How do I target only one module?
