Now that GNU make has more advanced features like eval and call, this type of setup is not as necessary anymore. You can generate the necessary rules to have objects put into another directory pretty easily, without having to write them all out, and without the extra recursion. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
