If you have more than one file with source code, this should work: foo: bar.o Will pick both foo.c and bar.c. Of course pmake/bmake makes more than that (and I don't want to argue about it): logic for installing binaries/manpages, cleaning directories etc. You can write sane rules for GNU make (I avoid implicit rules described earlier myself). The problem is that auto-generated makefiles by autotools are far from sane. I would guess that poison starts there and that is why GNU makefiles handle some obscure and weird rules/variables and so on. -- Paul Onyschuk
