I know that makedepend comes as part of the XFree86-devel package, but that did not seem like the appropriate place for this bug. If I run makedepend on C++ files with a .cc extension, it spits out dependencies in the form: file..o: foo file..o: bar etc, etc If I rename the file file.c and run makedepend, I get file.o: foo file.o: bar etc, etc So it looks like there is some error in the pattern matching for .cc files. Maybe it is just looking for the last c and replacing it and the character before it with a .o Thanks, Michael Ross MIT AI Lab
I believe someone has fixed this in X sources. If not however, please report these types of enhancement requests upstream to XFree86 directly in the future for faster enhancement/bug resolution. 4.2.0 in rawhide probably has the droids you're looking for. ;o)
