I think Jim's example could be _MUCH_ clearer (what's with all that TICKS and patsubst, etc.? That hardly seems necessary to show the issue).
But, if I understand correctly, what Jim wants is for make to re-invoke itself after each makefile that it rebuilds, so that subsequent rebuilds can take advantage of the contents created in previous ones. If you want make to continue to re-exec itself you have to fake it out by somehow convincing it that the file is out of date. If you provide a simple example, just using touch etc. so it's obvious what's going on, I'll see if I can think of a way to do it. Alternatively you could move away from include and just start using eval... then you don't have to worry about re-exec at all. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
