Currently, i.e. as of version 0.10.3, we do not have a straightforward syntax to short-circuit
all the make logic and just build a target. GNUMake provides special FORCE targets for
this purpose.
We can however construct a target with similar properties in OMake by combining
a :value: dependency with the random function:
current-processes.text: :value: $(random)
ps aux > $@
Still, I would like to make the suggestion to add .FORCE targets or :force:
special dependencies to OMake, which translate the above example to
.FORCE: current-processes.text
current-processes.text:
ps aux > $@
or
current-processes.text: :force:
ps aux > $@
and state the writers intentions more clearly.
