I'm not sure what this means. Does this mean that if I were to add some code (say a new function somewhere) and then put calls to that function is some other file, that the Gnu make/gcc combination would allow the autotools to create a makefile with all the right dependencies automatically? So using SGI compile with Gnu make would not get the dependency right? Richard ps, is there a good starting place to learn about all these tools. I'm plowing throught the autoconf and automake manuals, but wish it was all summarized somewhere in one place.
