Most likely because I'm not experienced enough at writing makefiles ;-) I originally tried the approach with ifeq ($(PORTNAME),win32) perl_archlibexp=$(subst, \,/,$(perl_archlibexp)) ... but then make complained about recursive assignment of the variable. If there is a simple way to get around that, it wouldn't be necessary. Since I didn't know of one, I had to change the name of the variable, which in turned required the part under else, so I didn't have to ifeq the actual build rule. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
