Comment #2 suits for me, and now the make is running ok.

Earlier what I done was copied the source file into AIX box and then given the make.

Today I mounted the source file from our server and then tried the make, it's working fine.

I'm sorry I can't give the sample of the makefile as I don't have that right.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Also, if your source was last written on machine A and you're now trying to compile those files on machine B and machine B's clock is so far behind machine A's that the source files' timestamps still appear to be the future, then you'd see this behavior.  You would probably also see warnings about clock skew - so when you post your small example of a makefile, please post the output you see too, so we can eliminate that.

Sorry, but there's nothing we can do unless you provide more details, such as a small example of a makefile that does not work properly for you.

Note that Solaris and HP contain SystemV make; GNU make is not intended to be a 100% compatible replacement for SystemV make.  GNU make is an implementation of POSIX-standard make, with many (MANY) extensions.  Just because your makefile works with Solaris and HP make does not automatically mean it will work with GNU make--it all depends on what SystemV special features you may be using, etc.

I downloaded the make 3.81 source and compiled in the AIX 5.3 machine as per the steps in the INSTALL file.

The steps I used was
1. ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
2. make
3. make install

After these process i pointed to the builded make.

The problem now is that make recompiles the source completely even though the files are not modified. Makefile which I'm using is compiling fine in SOLARIS and HP.

Please help me in this to get rid of this problem.
