Yes. All makefiles of all kinds (from MAKEFILES, -f options, default makefiles, and included makefiles) are completely read in and parsed, before make starts trying to build anything. Make has to do this, since it never knows whether the next part of the file might add some more prerequisites, etc. to targets that it needs to build. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
