How to interrupt a process in make without interrupting the process

I have this bit from the makefile where I start with the QEMU "debug" rule, but where I need to interrupt QEMU with kill -9, make kill too:

debug: ${BINDIR}/main 
    ${QEMU} -M versatilepb -m 128M -nographic  -kernel $^ -s -S
    $(MAKE) sane

gdb: ${BINDIR}/main 
    ${GDB} ${BINDIR}/main

sane:
    stty sane

how to interrupt process in make without interrupt creation process?

how to interrupt process in make without interrupt creation process?

GNU Make reacts to the exit status of a command. To force Make to ignore the exit status of a command and proceed further, simply prepend a character -

before the command:



debug: ${BINDIR}/main 
    -${QEMU} -M versatilepb -m 128M -nographic  -kernel $^ -s -S
    $(MAKE) sane

Now, if you kill QEMU, make

it will still report that the process terminated abnormally, but will continue executing the rest, in this case $(MAKE) sane

.
