Hi Darren; Pruning happens when make thinks that it has already evaluated those targets and determined that they are not rebuildable, AND make has not run any rules so that their state could be changed since they were last examined. It's a way to short-circuit what can be a long, complex computation. Without seeing your makefile it's hard to tell why your targets might be considered prunable when they shouldn't be. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
