I get a file not found error at thet URI, but the recursion is not the major point here. Indeed, the recursion here may not even refer to using make recursively -- the point here is to discover all the targets that would be looked at when I run make. So, if the target of interest is "install", which depends on "build", which depends on my-program-name, which depends on main.o, which depends on main.c, which depends on /usr/include/stdio.h; I want to have all these dependencies listeed -- and I am justusing a simple Makefile. > If I'm misunderstanding the problem, can you provide more details, > please? All right. Suppose I want to create a wrapper around make that would call make automatically when one of the files that a make target depends on changes. How do I discover what those files are? Obviously, make knows, since when it is actually run it goes through, and tests files/targets to see if they need rebuilding. What is requested is a mode in which each target is assumed to be in need of rebuilding, but, instead of taking any action, all that is done is to print the target's name on stdout. I hope this is clearer. manoj -- HELLO, everybody, I'm a HUMAN!!
