Everyone does it differently. I don't think there's anything firm enough to be considered a "recommendation". I tend to do it close to the target being defined so it's easier to see. rpjd> 2) what's the technical definition of an "implicit" rule? does rpjd> this include both the internal suffix rules and any rpjd> user-defined pattern rules, as the make manual seems to rpjd> suggest? Yes; any rule that is not explicit (does not list explicit targets and prerequisites) is implicit. rpjd> and is there a run-time option to list all internal suffix rpjd> rules that come with gnu make? make -qpf /dev/null Check the manual to see what these options mean. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
