This is a less of a problem than you think. Some "make" programs
understand automatic variables in implicit rules, but not in
explicit rules.
OK. I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for explaining it.
I don't think we do anything fancy with Makefiles that would
require the use of GNU make.
There's some things in Smake which I wouldn't trust to anything else, but that's not seen by users so I guess it's a special case. J' -- PGP Public key ID: 1024D/2DE827B3 fingerprint = 8797 A26D 0854 2EAB 0285 A290 8A67 719C 2DE8 27B3 See http://pgp.mit.edu or any PGP keyserver for public key.
