Hi everybody, I've got a feature request. I'm going (in a script) through my users' home directory to find all files worth backing up. But: occasionly are there some MB generated from small programs (down to a few hundred bytes). As it would be possible to back up only the sources and neither the binary or the result files, I'd need a possibility to find the sources. So my thought goes: gcc has a switch to get the dependencies from a given .c-file. If make had a switch to emit all target and intermediary files from a given Makefile, I could ignore them during backup. It would be less worth to get a list of "lowest-level" files (leaf nodes in the info manual) - there could be eg. some auxiliary text files that should be backed up. But a list of files to ignore would be perfect. Thank you for your humour, keep your spirits up, regards Phil _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
