Haha. That's what I thought. I'm not using libtool. I simply have some libraries that use other libraries. So the dependency information provided by the compiler will make sure that library B is rebuilt if library A is modified, right? In that case, I suppose I don't care about the _DEPENDENCIES line. How did this build system ever work in the first place? :) Thanks for the help, Bob Rossi
