I neither speak Perl nor C sufficiently well, so I cannot do that. Visualising dependencies or at least dumping chains of dependencies as text or XML files is something I have missed in make or remake for a long time. Remake can display dependencies in debug mode, but not recursively. As Make builds and maintains a dependency graph in internally while parsing makefiles, dumping dependency information in a structured way dynamically during a build - some things are only clear during the build, because variables must be expanded etc. - would be a feature best kept and maintained within GNU Make itself. I would be looking forward to any approaches in that direction. :-) -- Alexander Kriegisch Certified ScrumMaster http://scrum-master.de _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
