make dependency option??

[geraldin arthy]

Hi all,

 

I'm a beginner to the makedepend utility.

I read the man page of makedepend and as per the example given in the link

http://www.xfree86.org/current/makedepend.1.html

 

I added the following lines to my makefile

depend:
        makedepend -f- -- $(CFLAGS) -- $(SRCS)

And I found that when I gave a "make depend" the dependency list got appended to my makefile.

 

After this I tried to change a header file and gave a "make" again.

But I found that none of the dependencies got rebuilt and I got the message

 

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Could anyone of you tell me where I'm going wrong.Is the procedure what I'm doing correct?

 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks in advance,

GA
