I've seen this only as a result of forcibly interrupting make. I've always just erased the files (after make has stopped running, of course), and erasing them has never caused any problem AFAIK. If make was interrupted, then it probably could delete those files next time you run it, but I'd rather it didn't: some other process might create a temporary file that unintentionally uses the same naming convention, and that might even be likely if you use more than one make program. If you're seeing these files created (and not removed) when make runs normally, then it might help to say which version of make you're using. Is it possible that permissions are set so that make can create these files but isn't allowed to remove them? _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
