How to intrepret some of the statements in Android.mk file

I have a Android.mk file which belongs to AOSP. There is a particular statement in this file:

$(TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG): $(KERNEL_CONFIG_FILE) $(LOCAL_PATH)/Android.mk

Can anyone explain what is this particular lines tells?

Solution

  • This means that $(TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG) will be rebuilt when $(KERNEL_CONFIG_FILE) changes, or when the Android.mk (that very file you are reading) changes.
