It's best to hold these discussions on the mailing list, not in private. That way you get the benefit of others' experience rather than relying only on one person.

They will be ignored during the include, but later on when make wants to build them again as part of the "normal" build it will realize that they failed (but it won't print the message because it thinks someone else did already) and exit with an error code. At least that's the way I remember this bug. As noted on the list, this problem has already been fixed in the current CVS. There will be a candidate for the next release of GNU make out within the week, I expect; if you like you can test that (or you can build from CVS if you have the appropriate tools such as automake, autoconf, etc. installed). _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
