Many thanks for replying George, and I checked the 'all dependencies in makefile' option as you suggested and asked RHIDE to rewrite the makefile (Project Write Makefile) however make ( make -f test.mak ) when run on the newly generated makefile still won't aknowledge that test.h has been changed and recompile test.cpp. It still gives the same message 'nothing to be done for "all"' and exits although test.h has been modified. What is going on? Am I doing something wrong? My version of RHIDE is 1.4. Please help me. Thank's to all of you.
