They are used outside makefiles, but they should be as separate variables that are expanded. I've committed a fix for it. Jon, the reason for the ${foo} syntax is that this is the only way to reference a variable that works in both "make", "sh" and PHP. In the makefiles we want to defer expansion as long as possible, to give the user bigger flexibility for redefining individual variables from the "make" command line. - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken <ssb@fast.no> Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway
