make : rule call rule

Question

In a makefile, can I call a rule from another rule?

Similar to:

rule1:
        echo \"bye\"
rule2:
        date
rule3:
        @echo \"hello\"
               


        

Answer 1

A simple way to do it is:

ifeq (a, b)
    build_target:=one
else
    build_target:=two
endif

mytarget: $(build_target)
