Can I suggest you take a look at 'remake': http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/remake/ This does everything I think you're thinking of by way of diagnostics and debugging facilities, I have found it invaluable. Any of the code it contains might make a good starting point for a similar project, or perhaps it might be possible to get a concensus behind merging remake's added functionality into mainline GNU make? Paul (PING!), have you and Rockyb (remake maintainer) ever had discussions along these lines? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
