b. If the target does need to be rebuilt (is out-of-date), the pathname found during directory search is thrown away, and the target is rebuilt using the file name specified in the makefile. In short, if make must rebuild, then the target is rebuilt locally, not in the directory found via directory search. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If a target is found by directory search and needs to be rebuilt and updated, that target seems to be updated at the same directory found by directory search algorithm. So why the manual says: "not in the directory found via directory search". I wonder if Paul can write an example about the second situation. Wish you the best
