I would have thought that this was where you'd want to focus attention. For my part, if I've fiddled with a .y file, and $(YACC) doesn't work, then a build failure is a given. The problem here appears to come down to make(1) not handling the dependencies correctly, since it doesn't do VPATH and it's building outside of the source tree. Wouldn't it be reasonable just to refer to the generated .c file explicitly under $(srcdir), at least in some circumstances, to avoid spurious invocations of $(YACC)? --Daniel (Please Cc: any replies to me, as I am not subscribed to this list.) -- NAME = Daniel Richard G. _\|/_ Remember, skunks MAIL = [email protected] (/o|o\) _- don't smell bad--- MAIL+= [email protected] < (^),> it's the people who WWW = (not there yet!) / \ annoy us that do!
