Make walks a dependency tree. Since validxml is a dependency of both blfs and profile-html, it's pruned from one or the other depending on whether validxml comes up before or after profile-html. Try adding --debug=b when running make. It will print out information about targets. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
