You just drop a Makefile.inc in the appropriate directories (or modify the makefile directly, if it's a single program) and rebuild. If you're only making a single program, and not a tree, you can even just specify the changed options on the command line.

Actually, there is a Makefile standard under BSD. This is why they are so simple and easy to write. cjs -- Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
