Ah yes.. good point. I'll probably wind up using Wine's makedep for my project then. If I recall though, it had issues with includes that were only included if something was specifically defined. Maybe I should take another look at it. X11's makedepend still chokes on #if's with logical operators and also likes to generate dependencies for the system headers too which just fills up the makefile with tons of dependency info. Maybe I can find some time to look through and extend Wine's makedep to be a bit more usefull for projects other than Wine. Or maybe I should read a bit more documentation on it first. :-) -Dave
