It's not only the type of variable that determines when it's expanded, but also where the variable appears in the makefile. Some areas in a makefile call for immediate expansion: basically any area which needs to be expanded in order for the makefile to be parsed. You can find a complete description of which areas of a makefile are expanded immediately and which are deferred in the GNU make manual, section "How 'make' Reads A Makefile". -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
