Thanks Dave, I went through both the links provided by you and the make process is pretty much clear to me now. The following two points I would want elaborate from the paper: 1. As a rule of thumb: always use immediate evaluation assignment unless you knowingly want deferred evaluation. 2. You will get more accurate builds of your project if you use whole-project make rather than recursive make. -- Manavendra Nath Manav _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
