It's 3.68.

Hardly surprising really, since clearly my gmake *already* thought that "all" was the default target. BTW someone off-forum suggested "gmake -d". That eventually spat out No commands for `all' and no dependencies actually changed. No need to remake target `all'. gmake: Nothing to be done for `all'. and his follow-up remark was that "sun's gmake's not executing the '.PHONY' line in .lib, or failing the redefinition of 'all'." Does that get me anywhere? Incidentally, were your suggested lines meant to be input to some specific filter? Or just the output from some flavour of diff? (I've been forced to stare mainly at a Windows box for far too long and know much more about DOS's idiosyncracies and just plain *bugs* than I would wish to; consequently I sometimes forget really obvious Un*x things. Waaagh!) (Meanwhile I went to a Linux box and got it up and running effortlessly first time. Quelle surprise. But I would like more than one platform.) _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
