[Btk-developers] Makefile

[Eric A. <ej...@lb...>]

I recently upgraded to RH8.0 which includes gcc version 3.2, and the BTK no 
longer compiles.  The problem is that the preprocessing step to generate 
dependency files creates a .*.o file with some phony output.  Then the real 
object file never gets made.

As a workaround (shameful hack), I just added "rm .*.o" to the end of the 
preprocessing command, like this:

g++ -M    -o .area.o area.cpp > .area.d ; /bin/rm .*.o

maybe someone has a better understanding of exactly what's going on.
