This is not true (or I misunderstood your comment). Even if you use -include, make will rebuild the included file if it is out of date, then re-exec itself. The difference between include and -include is that even if make can't figure out how to build the included makefile, it will not complain, in any circumstances. dw> Yes, that's a problem. Is there any other way to silence it? No. In fact if you look at GNU make's Savannah site you'll see this is the very first open bug, and it's been open for a long time. I tried once to fix it but the change broke lots of things. I think it _can_ be fixed but it's not as straightforward as it appears: basically make has to defer generating an error about a missing include until after it's decided whether the include can be rebuilt. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
