Not that sure how GNU makedepends operates but it should need a list from somewhere to know what files to scan for dependancies.
I finally got everything working (seems to do the right thing in all cases). One thing I had to do was change the rules to do
%.css --> %.o
%.png --> %.o
%.html --> %.o
Instead of what I would've preferred:
%.css --> %.css.o
%.png --> %.png.o
%.html --> %.html.o
That took care of not only the circular dependency, but the occasional tendency for Make to do the reverse of creating a .o from a .html: it would overwrite the .html from the .o!
Thanks for your help.
