Note that the GNU make manual imports this section as well (into the "Makefile Conventions" section). The text is identical (when I build a release of GNU make it automatically grabs the latest version of this chapter from the standard place). I thought that the text was clearer here; you can infer the details but it's not very explicit. Maybe it was the automake manual or something where it seemed like the rules were more clearly spelled out. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
