That should work, I assume that you want to change the value of the variable folder in which case you need an assignment somewhere. In your example that's going to do the substitution on the value of folder and then return that value as the return value from folder. Since you aren't assigning the result of the $(subst) you'll probably get an error from make. Try this: folder := $(subst \\,/,$(folder) John. -- John Graham-Cumming Home: http://www.jgc.org/ Work: http://www.electric-cloud.com/ POPFile: http://getpopfile.org/ GNU Make Standard Library: http://gmsl.sf.net/ _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
