You've only declared the target "all" to be phony. So only "all" itself will be remade every time. Targets that all depends on, like prog1 and prog2, are not declared phony so they use make's normal build avoidance rules and are not built unless they're deemed out of date. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
