I have recently installed the GNU make facility on the 4.3BSD system at Perihelion Software and have experienced one (admittedly not very serious) problem. viz. The following makefile which uses a header file which has been found using vpath and then goes on to name the same file but without the vpath searching. This causes make to core dump! vpath %.h tt all: x.o y.o x.o: x.h y.o: tt/x.h The problem appears to be concerned with rename_file where it realises that there is a file with the target name already and proceeds to free it. Unfortunately the freed pointer is then used later when trying to make the file which was named absolutely. I realise that this is not a major bug since one would not want to name files in this way when using vpath but I thought you would be interested nonetheless. Chris Selwyn
