Thanks andre and herbert for the fast reply. "genPO: .ROOT" gives a circular dependency, which is understandable when I read startup
"genPO: .INIT" works but does not make the application. "genPO: $(TARGET)" also does not work. Somehow replacing $(TARGET) might the the easiest solution. Why do I have a feeling of slowly getting to know the build system internally. Not sure I like that feeling, because the more I see the more I get an urge to change it :-) rgds jan I.
