When I run make a second time, the autoloads are generated just fine. With another make, gnus-load.el is deleted again but autoloads aren't regenerated. The problem is that gnus/lisp/Makefile's default "all total" target requires the targets clean-some and gnus-load.el. When I do that on the command line, I first get % make clean-some gnus-load.el rm -f *.elc gnus-load.el auto-autoloads.* custom-load.* lispdir="/home/horn/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus" srcdir=. emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-make-cus-load . ... Generating autoloads for assistant.el... ... Saving file /home/horn/Repos/el/gnus/lisp/gnus-load.el... ... which is all fine. But when I do it again, I get % make clean-some gnus-load.el rm -f *.elc gnus-load.el auto-autoloads.* custom-load.* make: 'gnus-load.el' is up to date. Huh? How can gnus-load.el by up to date? You've just deleted it... I can't see any changes in Gnus' Makefile.ins, so it might also be a problem with GNU make itself. That has been updated to 4.1 on 6th November which could be the beginning of the problem although I feel that it started more recently than that... Any ideas welcome! Bye, Tassilo
