I've seen that they aren't the same in some contexts. Not kernel specific contexts either. It's a GNU make thing. One (env first) is setting an environment and one (env after make) is setting a makefile variable. The two are not the same. I haven't gotten to the bottom of why; I suspect it comes down to when make falls back to environments to fill missing make variables. ...also: A=thing make has an environment flow-on effect to all children of make; whereas "make A=thing" does not unless make so chooses. -- Rich Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
