Hmm. This is not it, this is not it at all. To be honest I'm very
confused by the behavior I am seeing out of make.
It refuses to expand variables inside exists statements at all.
I have just put this in my port Makefile with the declarations, not
inside of a target:
.if exists(${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins)
PLUGINSDIR?= ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins
.elif exists(${X11BASE}/lib/linux-opera/plugins)
PLUGINSDIR?= ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins
.endif
If I execute 'make -VPLUGINSDIR' I get nothing.
If I change it to read like this:
.if exists(/usr/local/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins)
PLUGINSDIR?= ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins
.elif exists(${X11BASE}/lib/linux-opera/plugins)
PLUGINSDIR?= ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins
.endif
Then 'make -VPLUGINSDIR' spits out:
/usr/local/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins
Anybody out there reading know why make would fail to expand PREFIX
there?
Thanks,
Brandon D. Valentine
