Given a Makefile containing: ${ETC} = /etc all: .if exists(${ETC}/rc.conf) @echo 1 .endif .if exists(/etc/rc.conf) @echo 2 .endif typing make yields: 2 Why doesn't the first 'exists' test succeed? I noticed this when trying to compile imake-4. I have USA_RESIDENT=YES in /etc/make.conf and I have also downloaded Wraphelp.c to /usr/ports/distfiles/xc/Wraphelp.c, yet when I build imake-4 the build process says it can't find Wraphelp.c and sets HasXdmAuth to NO. The test in question is: .if ${HasXdmAuth} == YES .if defined(USA_RESIDENT) && ${USA_RESIDENT} == YES .if !exists(${DISTDIR}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/Wraphelp.c) pre-everything:: @${ECHO_MSG} "You don't have Wraphelp.c: HasXdmAuth disabled." HasXdmAuth= NO .else ... Changing this to: .if ${HasXdmAuth} == YES .if defined(USA_RESIDENT) && ${USA_RESIDENT} == YES .if !exists(/usr/ports/distfiles/xc/Wraphelp.c) pre-everything:: @${ECHO_MSG} "You don't have Wraphelp.c: HasXdmAuth disabled." HasXdmAuth= NO .else ... fixes things. What's the deal here? Thanks, Geoff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
