X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: question about makefiles Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a general question about Makefiles. I see Makefile variables defined near the beginning of the file, however some variables used are seemingly not defined. a simple Makefile line says; @${PATCH} -s ${PREFIX}/Office51/bin/setup ${FILESDIR}/setup.patch PATCH, PREFIX and FILESDIR all are used, but not defined in Makefile. So where do they get defined? -- Bradley's Bromide: If computers get too powerful, we can organize them into a committee -- that will do them in. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
