Which may be true. But on cygwin and a fast computer, there is a noticeable start-up delay on one sub-directory where I used the non-recursive method. If the entire project was done this way I could imagine a startup delay of a minute. Maybe that's not so important, but I think it's nicer to the users to not have the delay. (The sub-projects are pretty much independent of each other as well, and everything is layed out to be easy to convert to non-recursive approach if I needed to) _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
