I am using GNU make to give me a consistent make interface on both SunOS and Ultrix. I am having trouble with Ultrix and GNU make interacting. I don't really view this as a bug in GNU make...it is Ultrix brain-damage. Can you suggest a workaround for this? I am really wedged. problem: the builtin rule for converting from a .c to a .o in GNU make is something of (roughly) the form: cc -c file.c -o file.o Ultrix barfs on this, believe it or not. It won't let you specify a file with a .o (or a .a) extension for the -o argument. I repeat. This is completely brain-damaged on the part of Ultrix cc. It gives the error message "cc: -o would overwrite file.o" even if there is no file file.o help? -josh simons
