I'd call it "a limitation of the dependency tracking mechanism", it's a variant of the deleted header problem mentioned in the chapter info Automake "Dependency Tracking Evolution" but now for non-header source files. Maybe Automake should document it more prominently, or add the same kind of machinery for source files? (There may be reasons why this is not possible, or a bad thing to do, but I'm not aware of any right now.) Luckily it's less common to rename source files which are not header files. > This is the information that you previously requested, but I guess it > doesn't matter. Nope. :) Cheers, Ralf
