You should be able to fix that by defining the .ec suffix as follows: .ec.c : esql -e $(CFLAGS) $*.ec That way, the .ec rule invokes the preprocessor to create the .c file, then the .c rule gets invoked to create the .o; if there is an error in either step, rm should remove it. -- William Harris (Standard disclaimers) CARS Information Systems 4000 Executive Park Drive Cincinnati, OH (USA) 45241
