I'm seeing some syntax-check warnings like this: lib/Makefile.am:623: DEFS = -DLOCALEDIR=\"$(localedir)\" @DEFS@ src/Makefile.am:716: DEFS = -DLOCALEDIR=\"$(localedir)\" @DEFS@ maint.mk: use $(...), not @...@ make: *** [sc_makefile_at_at_check] Error 1
However the gettext 0.18.1 manual still recommends using the lines used above. Should the gettext manual be updated, or are there valid situations when @....@ is appropriate that maint.mk could detect? /Simon
