Uhm.. wouldn't a simpler solution be to specify NOCLEANDEPENDS for just that one run of make(1), on the command line? Something like 'make NOCLEANDEPENDS=yes clean' or simply 'make -DNOCLEANDEPENDS clean'? G'luck, Peter -- If the meanings of 'true' and 'false' were switched, then this sentence wouldn't be false.
