I have noticed that when creating a project with large numbers of Makefiles that there are a large number of unnecessary variables.
Would it not be better to create a list of required variables and then a list of optional variables - scan the Makefile.am for $(variable) ( not @variable@ ) and then insert only the required ones ? While this may not be a problem with small projects - the overall effect for a large project is to slow the Makefile creation process. -- regs conon _______________________ \ \ \ OOHH I hate TYPOS \ \ \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
