Hi, I use MAKE version 3..7 on Windows 95. The info documents Make version 3.77 too. MAKE gives this error message: D:\tmp>make Makefile:4: *** mixed implicit and static pattern rules. Stop. This message is not included in the info node: Make Errors The Makefile contained: lang_pats = $(patsubst %, wbch/rl.%/\%, en) $(patsubst wbch/%, $(lang_pats), wbch/file): wbch/rl%: wbch/$(notdir %) cp wbch/$(notdir %) $(dir $@) Thanks. 1.4.2000
