No it is not working. Here are the contents of the folder: $ pwd /extra/sources/OpenOffice/aoo-4.0.1/main/soltools/mkdepend $ ls collectdircontent.cxx cppsetup.o imakemdep.h make_makedepend parse.o collectdircontent.hxx def.h include.c makefile.mk pr.c collectdircontent.o ifparser.c include.o mkdepend pr.o collectdircontent.obj ifparser.h main.c mkdepend.man cppsetup.c ifparser.o main.o parse.c Of course it is quite possible that I am doing something wrong...
