Command scripts are not expanded until they are about to be invoked by make, which is well after all the makefiles are read in. By that time the value of the variable "a" IS "B". Check the GNU make manual chapter "How 'make' Reads a Makefile". ny> Does this patch fix this as well? It doesn't, and shouldn't, because the above behavior is defined by POSIX and required of every program that calls itself "make". -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
