Automake's generated dependencies cause a build to fail when a file is removed. This occures because the generated .Po file retains references to the removed files and make aborts the build with file not found. I've now added this: +.DEFAULT: + @echo " >>>>> .DEFAULT: $@ <<<<<" to the build which tells make to ignore missing files. If a file was really needed the build still dies but later when something goes to use the file. If the file really wasn't needed, such as stale references in .Po files, the problem gets flushed out. lets see how it goes, Andrew
