makefile

Hi,

in a Makefile, I have:

all: $(PROG)

$(PROG): $(CPP_OBJS)
        $(CPP_LD) $(CPP_LD_FLAGS) $(CPP_OBJS)  -o $(PROG)

I would like to add some script before the compilation so I tried:

all: $(PROG)

$(PROG): $(CPP_OBJS)
        sh script.sh ; $(CPP_LD) $(CPP_LD_FLAGS) $(CPP_OBJS)  -o $(PROG)

but it does not work.

What is the right way of running a script in this case before the compilation?

Thanks
