I am completely aware that the resolution of timestamps is a problem. I did not know that the size of files had anything to do with it--can you explain further? Did you read the `-d' output? Make is aware that a target's prerequisites are newer than the target, and it says so, but then it decides not to remake the target anyhow. This does not make sense to me--do you have an explanation? -- Ben Pfaff email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
