[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54308] xerbla.c/xerbla.cc compilation error

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #54308 (project octave):

No, they have nothing to do with the compilation stage itself. They are an
output of the compiler, not an input. They are an input to the make program.

The dependency files are there so that when you make an edit to, let's say
symtab.h, all object files that come from a source file that include symtab.h
will be recompiled automatically.

With this feature disabled, if you edit symtab.h and type 'make all', it's
possible that nothing will get recompiled.
