And if so, can you clue >me in on it too? Thanks. Wayne, I'm beginning to wonder if you're in over your head here. I showed you this excerpt from bsd.port.mk, which occurs directly after the block conditionalized on the definition of the symbol ALL_HOOK: .if !target(all) all: build .endif I'm sorry, but I can't be much more precise than quoting the exact code which defines the "all" target. As well, my suggestion that careful reading of the make(1) man page was required was not made just to make conversation. Perhaps I should amend that statement to be "You need to understand the make(1) man page - all of it - in order to be able to follow the $PORTSDIR/Mk/bsd.*.mk files." -- Alan Eldridge "Dave's not here, man."
