Thank you, that is a great suggestion. It is a much more elegant solution. It makes my point - that the behavior of only including directories in vpath at the time that the Makefile is evaluated is best left up to the makefile implementation itself rather than being an intrinsic behavior of the vpath command - even better. Thanks again, and best wishes, Bryan _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
