Hi... I'm just curious how exactly the .depend file is created... what does it base its information on? I just tried to rebuild libutil, and got an error of: 'Can't make pte.h' Or similar to that... pte.h was just removed, but even doing a 'make clean; make depend' on the directory comes up with that error, and the .depend file has it in it. I checked setproctitle.c (which is what .depend seems to think needs pte.h), and there is no include there. Nor can I find it in any of the include files on the system. I ended up just editting .depend and removing that one entry to get past it...but I seem to recall someone mentioning that editting the .depend file is "!A Good Thing(tm)" So, how exactly *does* mkdep build its dependencies? :) Thanks...
