(can't remember what "?" is, to find it do "make clean;make -j4", my machine is wedged at the moment...) make depend builds "?" make builds "?", but a different verson than "make depend"!!! something about what files are around when "?" is built. I think the solution is to make "make" realize that it needs to "make depend" before anything else if ".depend" doesn't exist --- > It would be nice if the -j option was suitable for make worlds and such. :) so as long as you do a "make depend" between any "make clean" and "make" you are OK -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
