I should also clarify, now when I run with debugging enabled (-p -e), the intended dependency is effectively turning up blank, like it wasn't there. I'm not sure, possibly this post sheds some light on it as well. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/gnu.utils.help/automatic$20variables|sort:relevance/gnu.utils.help/I_dK4G-1uCc/a2vwIVxYMHIJ Which potentially I'm looking at a constructed makefile scenario for the desired approach. Alternately, I could potentially depend on the object patterns themselves a rule or two higher in the chain, alongside the executables. That would work around it as well without potentially confusing matters further. Any other suggestions are welcome. Cheers! > Thank you... > > Regards, > > Michael Powell
