Yep: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.patches/2730/focus=2740> Eric's patch seems to indicate that line 92 needs changed, too. (I haven't tested any on w32.) It would surely be helpful to know whether we can assume -n to work portably and avoid the test (we test for -L which is POSIX, too). Cheers, Ralf
