If you write a rule like: foo bar biz : fee fie foe then make interprets that to mean EXACTLY the same thing as: foo : fee fie foe bar : fee fie foe biz : fee fie foe This explains your problem, I believe, since every target in $(EXPORTED_HDRS) lists ALL the files in $(EXPORT_HDRS) as a prerequisite, and so will be considered out of date if ANY file in $(EXPORT_HDRS) is newer, and each target will be updated. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
