I appear to be unclear. The makefile sometimes does not specify all

no, you are perfectly clear... clean doesn't always work... distclean should...
i've never used distclean in my update scripts but i will be changing that
soonest...
As for the "update can move the sources to another directory" etc: no
idea what you're talking about there....
:( think about it... you have a source tree like this
#1
\projects
\projects\libs
\projects\myproject
\projects\myproject\myproject.pas
\projects\myproject\mylib.pas
you have refined mylib.pas to the point that you want to use it in other
projects so you move it to \projects\libs and adjust the makefile accordingly...
#2
\projects
\projects\libs
\projects\libs\mylib.pas
\projects\myproject
\projects\myproject\myproject.pas
so you started as #1 above and svn up to #2... when you run make clean, the old
mylib.o,.a,.ppu files are still in \projects\myproject somewhere and may be used
by the compiler instead of those that should be in \projects\libs where you
moved your mylib.pas file to...
is that clearer now??
