MAKEVAR := $(shell some command) This isn't local to a rule, though, it's global to the makefile. If you want to do it in a rule, you should just use the shell and not make. It's not much harder to use sed or whatever to translate the results than it is to use make functions. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
