Thanks Paul, > Read the section of the GNU make manual on > intermediate files.
I can not find a dedicated section dealing with intermediate files in the PDF GNU make manual. It is mentioned in page 107/108 from the Index of Concepts, but I can not find it. For a newbie of intermediate files, which section of GNU make manual should I read? Thanks. regards, George --- "Paul D.
