The loop creates a ton of make processes until the system locks up. Any ideas? EXERPT: Now you need to generate make dependencies by running "make depend". You might prefer to run it in background: "make depend > makedepend.out &" It can take a while, so you might not want to run it right now. Run make depend now?
