You're right. The 4-digit problem can be solved by stripping the last digits using $(patsubst) or similar, since the Z part of X.Y.Z isn't significant for what i'm doing. Alternately, pad any 2-digit version number with .0. We can count the words with something like $(words $(patsubst ., ,$(MAKE_VERSION)) and append a 0 if needed. Thanks for the bug report - i wouldn't have thought of that until i ran into a machine with 3.79.1. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
