compiling target of same makefile

[AnandA]

I have a requirement where I need to compile a target twice in the
same makefile. I'm compiling a C code and then linking but using
linker utility to generate an output file.
This output file I want to use to compile again the same C code and
then link for final output generation.

I'm compiling for our own processor. I was wondering how I can write
makefile for achieving this.

Thanks,
Anand.

Makefiles are off-topic in CLC.

Please try comp.lang.make or something like that.

That's really not a C question. You might try asking in
comp.unix.programmer if you're using a Unix-like system, or on some
other system-specific newsgroup if you're not. (They'll probably ask
you why you want to compile the same file twice.)

It's difficult to imagine exactly what your situation is without more
details, but what's wrong with a bespoke rule like

myfile.o : myfile.c
$(CC) -c $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $<
# call the linker to generate linker.out
$(CC) -c $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(SPECIAL_FLAGS_TO_USE_LINKER_OUT) $<
