$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)) will return the empty string if nostrip is *not* present in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. ifeq compares the results to the empty string. Therefore, the effect of this makefile fragment is to add -s to INSTALL_PROGRAM if nostrip is *not* present in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. I believe that's correct. It is extremely counterintuitive and I had to read it multiple times myself to be sure I understood it. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
