Sending to the list. Hi,

Add an explicit dependency here > $(DEPDIR)%.d: %.cpp $(DEPDIR) Then make will create the directory before trying to create the dependencies. The reason it wasn't woprking before is that make had an implicit dependency on any included files (i.e. your dep files) and it will try to build those before building your all target. > Also, if I start with a clean directory, just containing main.cpp and > Makefile, 'make clean' fails; it's like it won't clean stuff until the .d > files exist, and it can't create them because ".dep/" doesn't exist. I normally include my dep files using something like this: ifeq ($(strip $(filter clean%, $(MAKECMDGOALS))),) -include $(DEP_FILES) endif That way it won't bother inlucding the dependcy files for targets which don't need them. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
