I can not easily find that I need to use either .INTERMEDIATE or .SECONDARY from the table of content below. However, when I type 'gnu make dele' in google, it pops up 'gnu make delete intermediate'. If I search by this term, it points me to the section on .INTERMEDIATE or .SECONDARY, which is helpful. http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
