I would like make to always 1. strip the executable it created 2. remove the *.o files it created after it has compiled the target executable. How do I do this? What do I add to the makefile? The current default command I am using is: pan: pan.o libswe.a gcc -g -O2 -o pan pan.o -L. -lswe -lm Thanks. -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.51 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-02-26 W08-7 UTC+0530 - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
