The Makeflags >variable doesn't seem to do any good. I presume you want to discard the builtin rules to stop make from compiling the intermediate .c files instead of the .4gl's. True? The problem is make's default SUFFIXES list, which contains ".o .c", amongst others. You want to clear the suffixes list by putting an empty ".SUFFIXES:" declaration before your own list. RTFM make(1). ie .SUFFIXES: .SUFFIXES: .o .4gl -- Hugh Grierson Fujitsu/ICL New Zealand - Software Development Centre hugh@nezsdc.icl.co.nz Speaking for myself only. See figure 1.
