Hello, Please ignore my previous mail. It wasn't complete and i am sorry for the inconvenience. I am trying to use autoconf to build for Symbian platform that involves more than 1 step at the linking stage, i.e., it has a static linking stage, followed by a post-linking stage. While the default make rule to produce an executable is just a linking stage e.g., the default rule may look something like: $(PROGRAM): $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) $(LD) $(LD_FLAGS) $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) -o $@ Is it the right thing to do if i overwrite this rule as follows: $(PROGRAM): $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) $(LD) $(LD_FLAGS) $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) -o $static_link_file # some more intermediate steps here... $(POSLINK) $(PL_FLAGS) $static_link_file -o $@ Is there a better way to do other than what the default make rule supports? Also, i had to make a similar change in all the Makefile.in files. Is there a more generic way to intoduce this kind of overwriting through other autoconf templates? regards satyakam
