Eh, not many other options though ;-) I agree there is a risk of conflict with valid targets. :-/ Maybe we just leave it as it is. > Here are some other ideas you could use: > info Well, 'make info' is traditionally used to build texinfo documentation ... btw this probably is an excellent example in support of your point about conflicts with valid targets! ;-) > helpme > summary > options > gnustep-make-help > shortform ... and those are a bit too obscure > or make it an option > info=yes > summary=yes > shortform=yes This could be an interesting idea, but the main problem is that someone looking for help probably wouldn't know that to get help you need to use 'make help=yes'. Maybe whenever you type 'make' we could always print a line saying 'Please type 'make help=yes' for help' ... Not sure. :-( Suggestions welcome :-) Thanks _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
