I don't see how the second expansion would be useful in solving this. The second expansion is used in the prerequisite list while this "problem" (I put it in quotes because I don't really think it is a big deal; there are implicit rules that one can use to get the desired effect) is in the target list. > Any plan about it?

I don't think that when people at Sun decided to use '$' in file names they didn't consider the consequences. It was known that POSIX make has no provision for handling '$' in file names. Perhaps they decided that you shouldn't use make to build Java classes? -boris _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
