There probably is lots of involved Makefile notation not separately documented in makefile-distfiles.html or other parts of porters-handbook/ . Generally on BSD's, Linux's, and the like the Makefile notation is documented in the man page for the make variation in use (make, gmake, fmake, etc.). Across types of systems "make" can vary which variant it refers to. So, various man pages for "make" can disagree. The one in the environment in question needs to be consulted unless one knows an alternate name as used in an alternate environment. So many standards to choose from. . . =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net
