I'm not sure I understand the goal. If make can't find a rule to build a prerequisite, then by definition it must exist and cannot be further chained. So all you have to do to get the above behavior, is just not define a rule to build those prerequisites. Maybe you can provide an example and explain the problem you're trying to solve, with details. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
