Well, eventually there could be another 'makedoc-executed.stamp' target, which all three can depend on and is touched when done. But this would just be unnecessary overhead to the current variant directly depending on existance/timestamp of one of the created files. Additionally, both the c-files could depend on the h-file instead of the current chain: -doc.c: key.c -key.c: funs.h +doc.c key.c: funs.h But this actually won't really make a difference. > I made the change. Thank you! /haubi/
