Dear friends,
It seems I'm talking to myself but if anyone can help me it will be 
greatly appreciated. My problem is as follows.

I have a computer with 8MB ram so instead of using RHIDE to 
compile I ask RHIDE to generate a makefile and then I exit to DO$ 
and run make (it is faster due to more memory being available for 
the compiler).

When I create a project called test (any name) using RHIDE  wich 
has a file called test.cpp wich also includes test.h as a 
dependency and I create a makefile using RHIDE's 
project\writemakefile feature I find that if  I exit to DOS and run 
make (make -f test.mak) it compiles fine and gives me test.exe.
However if I now change test.h and run make (make -f test.mak) it 
says "nothing to be done for "all"" and does'nt compile wich is 
obviously wrong, because test.h has been modified and therefore 
test.cpp should have been recompiled. 

However this problem does'nt exist when running under RHIDE 
because RHIDE properly check's the dependencies and recompiles 
test.cpp.
May I know why  is this different under RHIDE generated makefiles.
Please tell if I missing something here.
Thank You.
