There are all sorts of problems arise when you start hiding things from make ;-). For example, in the original makefile, if make gets interrupted in the middle of the command that creates that "hidden" file there is no way make can clean it up. BTW, the same thing happens with advanced auto-dependency generation and it bit me a few times already. I still don't have a solution for this... -boris _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
