Remember: _all_ make expansion of variables, etc. is done _FIRST_, then the result of the expansion is passed to the shell. Then make just waits for the shell to exit. Here you have a mixture: you have make functions that are trying to use the value of a shell loop variable $f, but that can't work because all expansion of make functions is done well before the shell is even invoked. You have to rewrite your rule so that either it does the test in the shell using shell's "if", or it does everything in make functions (using make's looping with $(foreach ...)). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
