You are quite right. I had, in my enthusiam, omitted the leading tab.

I have discovered that if I use the following as a makefile:
**************************************************************
[1]helloworld: helloworld.o
[3]        pwd
***************************************************************
the result is:
***************************************************************
jbat@xxxx:~/gcc/kde$ make
[2]g++    -c -o helloworld.o helloworld.cpp
***************************************************************
This replicates the result that I get from using the sample makefile.
ref[1] produces ref[2] without regard to the ref[3]

Is this:
an incorrect sample makefile
or a make default
or a make bug
???

By restating the make lines to what I am accustomed to using over many
years with MSDOS make, I can control the actions of make. Using the KDE
sample, I can't.

What do you think?
