Re: how to make _DEPENDENCIES appear earlier in prerequisite

[n.g.]

thanks very much.

it seems that if something appeared in the same place in a Makefile,
they are not ordered. ex. if they are both dependencies of a target.

currently, the problem is solved by using BUILT_SOURCES and/or manual
rules for sources. as you mentioned.

if automake accept userdefined rule to be act as builtin primaries,
it will be a wonderful thing.

or if automake populate the macro it used to canonicalize macro names
for user use is not bad too.
