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
