Never. > If never, then what is the real purpose of $(MAKEFLAGS)? It is used by make to know what flags to pass down. You can also set it in your makefile (although this has limited effects for the currently-executing make unfortunately: there's an enhancement request on this). And you can query it in your makefile if you like (not usually very useful). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
