Ok, I looked at the old mail archives and found messages on 'makedepend' and
the solution:

DEPS := $(wildcard *.d)
ifneq ($(DEPS),)
include $(DEPS)
endif

The only problem is that when I change a header file, the C files that
depend on it don't get recompiled.  What's going on?

Here's the makefile:

CC   = gcc
CFLAGS   = -MMD -O2
LFLAGS  = -s -lgpp
EXE  = Upheaval.exe
COMPRESS = djp -q
OBJDIR  = ../objs
OBJDIR2         = ..\objs
EXEDIR  = ..

OBJECTS  = $(OBJDIR)/Dma.o \
    $(OBJDIR)/Graphics.o \
    $(OBJDIR)/Keyboard.o \
    $(OBJDIR)/main.o \
     $(OBJDIR)/Mouse.o \
    $(OBJDIR)/Pcx.o \
    $(OBJDIR)/PhysicalObject.o \
    $(OBJDIR)/SoundBlaster.o \
     $(OBJDIR)/Vector.o \
    $(OBJDIR)/Vga.o \
    $(OBJDIR)/Wav.o

$(EXEDIR)/$(EXE) : $(OBJECTS)
$(CC) $(OBJECTS) -o $(EXEDIR)/$(EXE) $(CFLAGS) $(LFLAGS)
$(COMPRESS) $(EXEDIR)/$(EXE)

$(OBJDIR)/%.o : %.C
$(CC) -c $< -o $(OBJDIR)/$(<:.C=.o) $(CFLAGS)

clean :
del $(EXEDIR)\$(EXE)
del $(OBJDIR2)\*.o
del *.d

DEPS := $(wildcard *.d)
ifneq ($(DEPS),)
include $(DEPS)
endif

Thanks.
