The library does require gmake :) I guess I could use .ao or whatever. I'll take my chances as far as the compiler thing, and handle build bugs upstream... The rules I've been replacing in ICU all were like: %.o: $(srcdir)/%.c $(COMPILE.c) -o $@ -c so I guess all the compilers they support also handle -o w/ -c nicely. YA
