-# IF YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES to this file you MUST at least run
-# "gnumake" in this directory afterwards; you usually need
-# to run "gnumake rebuild" in the application's top level
-# directory each time this file is changed.
-#
-# NOTE: The build does not check dependencies against files
-# that are outside this application, thus you should run
-# "gnumake distclean install" in the top directory each time
-# EPICS_BASE, SNCSEQ, or any other external module defined
-# in the RELEASE file is rebuilt.

-# Host/target specific settings can be specified in files named
-#  RELEASE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH).Common
