* From: Palle Girgensohn <girgen@partitur.se>
* I am trying to set make variables to output from programs (using
* backticks). It seems that the values are not substituted, but instead
* the whole backtick string is inserted. This gives me problem, since I
* can't get PLIST_SUB to work if it isn't evalled first. bsd.port.mk
* complains that it gets erroneous lines, and it seems they're not enough
* quoted.
You need to use the "!=" construct for command substitutions in
make. :)
* APXS_SBIN= "`${DIR}/apxs -q SBINDIR`"
APXS_SBIN!= ${DIR}/apxs -q SBINBIR
* PS. As you might see, I'd like to obtain info on where apache is
* installed, so I can use this to install shared modules as separate
* ports. Do you think this is a good idea? DS.
However, it is generally not a good idea to use a command outside of
the system since there are lots of stuff that don't check the
dependencies. Just think "make index", etc.
