This is not true. Each submake is invoked in a separate make process, and no target definitions from the parent make are passed down. je> Makefile.standard:10: warning: overriding commands for target `xyz' je> Makefile.standard:10: warning: ignoring old commands for target `xyz' You must be including the Makefile.standard makefile twice, somehow. Try running with the -d option and this might help you see the problem. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
