This is not actually an automake question; you should better address it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The answer to your question is that the make variable CPPFLAGS is used to hole C preprocessor flags. So, if you want to change or the flags that are passed to the preprocessor, you would override that make variable on the command line, like this: $ make CPPFLAGS='-D MYOBJECT' -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
