Hello...after fiddling around a bit learning make, I'd like to suggest a minor change to the make manual at http://www.gnu.org/manual/make/ In the section "Generating Prerequisites Automatically", there's a sed script used to add a rule for the .d file. The problem I ran into is that I was using source files in a different directory than the Makefile, and thus they contained slashes, which blew up the sed expression. I used a subst expression to escape out the slashes, and things started working again. I also '@'-ed the expression to keep the noise down. Anyway, I thought these fixes might be handy to pass on. Sincerely, Scott A.
