Re: question regarding dependencies with wmk

I am using GNU make which also allows specifying explicit dependencies
between files.  Each source directory of my web site contains a Makefile
which includes definitions from a common file make-wml.defs.  Only the
names of the .wml files (FILES=...) and source subdirectories
(SUBDIRS=...)  have to be specified in most cases.

This for example is my top-level Makefile:
FILES = index pubs
SUBDIRS = cv software photos nn

include $(HOME)/include/make-wml.defs

index.html: index.wml cv.html
pubs.html: pubs.wml publications.html

linklint:
	linklint -error -warn -doc .linklint/ -root $(WWWROOT) -host ci.uofl.edu /tom/@

In my main directory I have index.wml and pubs.wml.  cv.html and
publications.html are generated from TeX sources and are included by
index.wml and pubs.wml.  There are also subdirectories into which make
descends recursively.  `make' allows to take the advantage of parallel
building on multiprocessor machines when the `-j' option is used.
