You're getting confused by mixing two different issues. One is how to generate dependencies efficiently. The other is how to guarantee you have the generated headers in place so that you can generate dependencies correctly. Automake's approach to generating dependencies addresses the first issue in a far more efficient way than yours, and has no significant differences regarding generated headers. As for addressing the second issue, Tom Tromey did already: BUILT_SOURCES is one approach; explicitly coding dependencies on such files is another. There really isn't a magic bullet for this problem, since you generally have to determine what other headers a generated header might include, and some of them might be generated as well. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED], gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist [EMAIL PROTECTED], gnu.org}
