Hi, What are the conventions with respect to make variables? Is it okay for a variable to be both input and output? Example (fake, assuming we already have a bsd.java.mk): USE_JAVA= YES JAVA_VERSION= 1.2 .include <bsd.port.pre.mk> xxxx JAVA_VERSION xxxxxx <--- JAVA_VERSION is now 1.2.2b10 Would this be legal or preferred? Or would using a separate variable for input and one for output be preferred? Ernst -- Ernst de Haan EuroNet Internet B.V.
