That's not so hard. ;)

And the body of the Makefile itself.  I think it's self evident that
you didn't, however, or you'd have seen the dependency you were
complaining about a lot earlier.  That's all I was trying to say.

It would probably help, yes.  I don't see such panics on my systems which
make release, so without more data it's not likely we could do anything
for you.

I think you have it exactly backwards.  With a commercial OS you can
simply pay and leave your brain at home, complaining to tech support
if something is hard to understand.  With a free OS, you need to be
willing to do more of your own research before yelling "Hey, this is
broken, why didn't anyone DOCUMENT this!!!" like you did.
