But this only runs if configure or config.status is run, and this doesn't happen every make. Sometimes a new module also alters one of the configure files; then the top-level Makefile will pick up that things have changed and run this code. There is no direct dependency *simply* on piling in some extra .mdd files. I would guess socket didn't need to change the configure stuff, but db did. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
