- I've been working with gnumake 3.62 for a few months now, and have found only
- one problem which materially affects how I use the tool.. When trying to
- incorporate dependencies on header files, I found that intermediate files were
- no longer deleted on completion. I am building into libraries:
-
- library: $(MACH_HDRS) \
- $(foreach file, $(addsuffix .o, $(basename $(MACH_SRCS))), \
- ../libbase.a($(file)))
-
- The source files are local to the directory, or in a CVS1.0** repository whose
- location is identified using VPATH. I found that if I included the extra
- dependencies generated by makedepend, the .c and .o files were not deleted.
- If I didn't have the extra dependencies, the .c and .o files are successfully
- deleted after the archive entry is updated.
- I am working on a HP9000/345 running HP-UX 8.0, for what that's worth.
-
- Has anyone had success with makedepend or its ilk in combination with gnuMake
- 3.62? Any ideas where to start looking? Is there a mailing list for gnuMake?

- **yes, yes, I know...we're going to CVS1.3 RSN...
