There is no special variable ".." (although in POSIX, all variable names beginning with "." are allowed to be used by the implementation; GNU make doesn't use this one). This just sets the variable ".." to the value "../", like any other variable setting would. So, when the variable reference $(..) appears it will be expanded to the string "../". Just like any other variable. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
