It does this if there isn't a corresponding obj dir left over from your last make world. I usually, when messing around in single dirs, do a 'make obj' just to be sure that there's a corresponding obj dir there (and I don't mess up my source dirs, which I like to keep clean). I think all you have to do is a make obj, then make real sure you go out of your way to kill the invisible .depend file in your sources, when you're deleting all the wayward obj files. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
