=head1 NAME

make-first-existing-target - runs make on one of several targets

=head1 SYNOPSIS

make-first-existing-target [-c cmd] target1 [target2 ...] -- [make-options]

=cut

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The design of L<make(1)> causes difficulty when you know that a Makefile
probably has one of several standardized target names, and want build
machinery to run exactly one of them, propagating any errors. L<make(1)>
will exit 2 if a target does not exist, but an existing target may also
exit 2 due to some other failure. Makefiles cannot be reliably parsed
to find targets by anything less turing complete than make; and make itself
does not provide a way to enumerate the targets in a Makefile. It may not
even be possible to enumerate the targets in a Makefile without executing
part of it. (Proof of this is left as an exercise for the reader.)

This program avoids the problems described above, by attempting to call
each specified target in turn, until it observes make actually doing
something for one of them.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item -c cmd

This can be used to specify the make command to run. Default is "make".

=back

=cut

=head1 EXIT STATUS

The exit status is 0 if at least one target existed and was successfully
run, and nonzero otherwise.
