> Are the any other problems that the Makefile method does not solve/address? The case of the missing dependency. If I have package B installed and it depends on package A, but package A is not installed, then a make will fail at generation of the package A startup, when instead it should fail the generation of the package B startup (but still generate a valid rc file). This was my point about installed-but-not-configure packages. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
