mk file question

In a makefile when you specify something like....

xxx-xx:
-$(yyy) $(zzz)

What does the"-" (hyphen) before the "$" mean? (assuming xxx-xx is the target name)

Hi.

If you are starting to use make seriously, I recommend that you read the info file. It is long, but most of your questions will be answered there ... cheers, drl

Thanks............!
