Just tested: case 1: $ ./bootstrap.sh $ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode -C (configure) $ make (build) $ touch ./helpers/basic_auth/POP3/Makefile.am $ make (build) case 2: $ make -f Makefile.bootstrap Makefile && make (bootstrap) (configure) (build) $ make -f Makefile.bootstrap Makefile && make (build) $ touch ./helpers/basic_auth/POP3/Makefile.am $ make -f Makefile.bootstrap Makefile && make (bootstrap) (configure) (build) In other words, Makefile.bootstrap is useful for those situations where coding touches any file used for bootstrapping, unless I misunderstood what --enable-maintainer-mode does. -- /kinkie
