Hello, In the applying patches to PMDF, I am confused as to how to use MAKE such that I can rebuild only those segments that need it. Specific example: Apply patch 3.1-6 to OS.PAS (edit file) $ make/keep/noexecute/out=build_os.com [src]makefile. [src]os.pas All targets in synch. (or a message quite close to that) and no .COM file is built. I've not used MAKE before (this may be obvious from the question) and my basic understanding is that I can use it to rebuild only those parts that need it. I wanted to produce a .COM file so I could see what was what before anything was done. PMDF 3.1-1 was installed on 19-Dec-1989, and I hand patched up through 3.1-5 today; in other words, the file mod dates should trigger the rebuild. Is it possible that since I recompiled BN_MASTER and PMDF_MAIL today that the dependency mechanism is confused? System is VMS 5.2. Any clues? Did I give enough information? In attempting to avoid the RTFM response, I did skim the MAKE.HLP file, but found little that shed light on this problem. --Larry Larry Fahnoe University Computing 608/342-1697 UW-Platteville BITNET: FAHNOE@UWPLATT One University Plaza Internet: FAHNOE@UWPLATT.EDU Platteville, WI 53181
