I suspect he's confused by the use of the word "makefile" here, having lost the distinction between the unitary file typically called "[Mm]akefile" and a generic file in make syntax which may be included into it. It probably wouldn't hurt to refer to the latter as a "prerequisite file" or "prerequisite makefile" in the quoted sentence. -David Boyce _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
