I posted this question last week to gnu.misc.discuss, but have no response as yet... any ideas here? > The RCS doco states: "MAKE has been extended with an auto-checkout > feature for RCS". Is this referring to GNU-make, or some other > version of make? I should add, I'm posting this for a friend, and he assures me that the make he has (which is standard SUN release) don't do the job...

In the absence of a modified make, the targets %.c: RCS/%.c,v co $@ %.h: RCS/%.h,v co $@ will do the trick using Sun's make. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Keith Refson |ROYAL MAIL: | |-----------------------------------------| Department of Earth Sciences | | JANET : keith@uk.ac.ox.earth | Parks Road | | INTERNET: keith@earth.ox.ac.uk | Oxford OX1 3PR | | BITNET : keith%uk.ac.ox.earth@ukacrl | UK | | UUCP : K.Refson@ed.uucp |PHONE : +44 865 272026/272016 | | : keith%uk.ac.ox.earth@ukc.uucp |FAX : +44 865 272072 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe GNU make has something similar, and with pattern rules you can get something pretty close with most modern make's -- SystemV augmented make, SunPRO make, nmake, mk, etc., etc... /r$ -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.
