(Applications welcome) Lines: 10 This is possible with the most recent version of GNU Make (soon to be released). Unlike `nmake', GNU Make is free and it is also supported (to some extent) by me (one of its authors). GNU Make is very powerful but it does not go completely outside the realm of a reasonable `make' program as AT&T's `nmake' and `mk' do. These programs do things as hairy as using state files and having a syntax so extended that one could more simply write a C program to accomplish the same results. -- Roland McGrath Internet: roland@wheaties.ai.mit.edu UUCP: mit-eddie!wheaties.ai.mit.edu!roland
