One of the last steps that ./config.status does when making config.h is to check whether the newly generated file differs from that being replaced, and if it does not, the old one is not overwritten. This is done to reduce unnessary rebuilding of source dependented on config.h. This I understand. But the similar check for non-modification of generated makefiles is commented out in status.m4. Why is this? There's a crypic "This would break Makefile dependencies." in the comment, but I don't understand how. Could someone enlighten me? -Dan _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
