After reading on the mac groups.. the solution seems to be
doing "ls #{t.name} > /dev/null" after each operation.
I would prefer a cleaner solution to this!


Anyways thanks for the help (and for rake).



file APPLICATION => O_FILES do |t|
  sh "g++ #{O_FILES} -o #{t.name}"
  system("ls #{t.name} > /dev/null")
end

rule ".o" => [".cpp"] do |t|
  sh "g++ -c -o #{t.name} #{t.source}"
  system("ls #{t.name} > /dev/null")
end
