Hi, In Make's info page, node 'Include':
This is acts like `include' in every way except that there is no The 'is' should not be there. Also, in node 'Simple Makefile', a simple example makefile is introduced. It is then used as an example to introduce various concepts. Later, in node 'make Deduces' the last line of the example makefile has a '-' added to it: -rm edit $(objects) At the point, the use of '-' to modify a shell command has not been introduced yet. I wonder if it would have been better to hold off on the '-' until later. The version of make is 3.79.1 (I know, it's old :) ) as well as the hard-copy version you are selling in bookstores.
