Personally, I set "NOCLEANDEPENDS=yes" in /etc/make.conf. That solves that problem, but probably doesn't do what you want. I also set WRKDIRPREFIX to a scratch disk, and just blow away the entire directory every so often. If you are using the -j option when doing "make clean", try reducing that. If you aren't, make sure you use -B to disable parallel cleans. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
