Hej Michael! Thank you for the answer!
I am trying to improve an existing solution, and can not fundamentally change it, so your proposals are no options for me. I am still looking for PORTABLE ways (in a Makefile) to: 1] Find which make program is used 2] Give a warning message 3] Give an error message and stop the make program Bosse Michael Ludwig skriver Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:32:52 +0100 >Bo Johansson schrieb am 20.02.2012 um 16:50 (+0100): >> >> I am trying to find ways to make Makefiles more foolproof and need >> ideas, advices, and reference to already established methods.
