There is also a third "philosophy": gmake within any directory will build that directory and all its dependencies and any subdirectories and all their dependencies. For example: root | +--libfoo | +--foo Say root/foo depends on root/libfoo. If you say make inside root/foo and root/libfoo is not up-to-date, it will be built before building root/foo. Very handy. -boris _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
