As long as the automake- or hand-generated definition of ofile doesn't contain shell-active characters (and IIRC automake already takes care of turning them into underscores), you're fine. And then, if it does, we need an additional variable set by the rule preamble that sets a shell-safe version of ofile. The point here is to avoid the overhead of having to run ofile through sed to protect it at build time, when we can do it at Makefile-generation time. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED], gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp [EMAIL PROTECTED], gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
