I agree entirely. The only reason I raised it was because I had cause to need it. The quickest way I found was just to write the missing recipe. As I'd written it, I thought I'd share. As you say, it has no other use than unpicking a stupid "install", done by a butterbrain like myself :-) > But then, I do not care at all about that target being in the Makefile or > not. I'll just ignore it, just as almost everybody else. Until I needed it; I didn't care that it wasn't there. Even then "need" is perhaps too strong a word. It was handy. That's it. If there are strong moral objections to it; it doesn't bother me. Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE
