The main thing is that you should contact address@hidden for 
assistance with ElectricMake.

However, one possible source of difficulty is that ElectricMake emulates 
GNU make 3.81 (or 3.80, depending on your command-line options), but 
ClearMake emulates GNU make 3.74, and there are non-trivial differences 
between those versions.  It is possible that the behavior you are seeing 
now is due to one or more of those differences.

Again, the folks at address@hidden should be able to help you.
