The makedepend lines in the Cyrus makefiles all end *.c and so check all the source files in their directory for dependencies, even if they are only conditionally included in the build. For example there are two password checking routines in separate source files, one for SVR4 type systems and one for BSD type systems. Regardless of the fact that only one of these will/can be compiled on any given system, makedepend parses both. This results in warning messages from makedepend, which is not nice to look at but is just about acceptable. Unfortunately these translate into fatal errors when mkdep is substituted in. I'll submit the port as is. Many thanks for your input. - Ian
