Ah, I see. I was confused by the bit I quoted from your earlier message: > > I think this is an elegant solution - notice how it not only solves > > this bizarre problem, but also notice how nicely it takes care of the > > catch-22 that happens if the user deletes include/foobar.h. The comment about "taking care of the catch-22" led me to believe you were not using the existing well-known method to solve the removed/renamed header file problem, but were instead expecting the $(wildcard ...) method to "take care" of that problem as well. In fact, the extra $(wildcard ...) statements have no impact, for good or ill, on the remove/rename issue. Unless I've confused something again. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
