Oh, you'd better fix it in NetBSD's bsd.own.mk then, which was where I took the definition above from. .if empty(.MAKEFLAGS:tW:M*-V .OBJDIR*) .if defined(MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX) || defined(MAKEOBJDIR) PRINTOBJDIR= ${MAKE} -r -V .OBJDIR -f /dev/null xxx .else PRINTOBJDIR= ${MAKE} -V .OBJDIR .endif .else PRINTOBJDIR= echo /error/bsd.own.mk/PRINTOBJDIR # avoid infinite recursion .endif It also worked just fine on a FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE machine (from Oct 24th): > make -V .OBJDIR /usr/home/agc/local/multigest/lib > Regards, Alistair
