For those interested, have a look at my build system, using a single session make (Google for Recursive Make Considered Harmful to see why that's a good thing) and fully transparent generation of extra dependency information that becomes known while compiling (included headers). Together this setup guarantees correct builds and always allows parallel makes, because it supplies make with a single, complete dependency tree, so that it can do the right thing. See http://www.xs4all.nl/~evbergen/nonrecursive-make.html Cheers, Emile. -- E-Advies / Emile van Bergen | emile@e-advies.info tel. +31 (0)70 3906153 | http://www.e-advies.info
