The rule has some non-variable data which is still not found in the db. I am actually suspecting VPATH/vpath stuff. My reason is that it works fine after a clean, but not after a partial build. I am still scrutinizing -d -p outputs for both runs. Decidedly confusing for me. > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Paul D.
