> From the automake manual: You may only test a single variable in an if statement, possibly negated using ‘!’. The else statement may be omitted. Conditionals may be nested to any depth. You may specify an argument to else in which case it must be the negation of the condition used for the current if. Similarly you may specify the condition that is closed on the endif line:
if DEBUG DBG = debug else !DEBUG DBG = endif !DEBUG What's the purpose of "specifying the condition that is closed"? I've never seen this kind of construct before. Is it a substitute for elseif? wes
