That's how make works always, by default.

If that's not what's happening then there's something else wrong here
that we can't see based on your makefile.  You could try removing the
"-" from the "-include" and see if that makes any difference.


You can try using "make -d" and looking at the debug output.  You should
see make run the gendepend.sh file to generate Makefile.Depend, then you
should see it restart and read the file.
