Message-ID: <113700017@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu> Date: 9 Aug 89 17:19:00 GMT Lines: 12 Nf-ID: #N:uxa.cso.uiuc.edu:113700017:000:355 Nf-From: uxa.cso.uiuc.edu!gsg0384 Aug 9 12:19:00 1989 Hi, On System V.3, there is no description about double colon (::) dependency rule (BSD man page describes it) in the man page of 'make'. Nonetheless, it seems that our machine Ardent Titan (SysV.3) understands :: dependecy. Is this true for all SysV.3 machines, or is it just an extension in our machine? Thanks.
