Hello, Many thanks for all the suggestions. I found my mistake. By reading http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Command-Syntax saw this: " A variable definition in a “rule context” which is indented by a tab as the first character on the line, will be considered a command line, not a make variable definition, and passed to the shell."
So, rewrote the file to set variables at begining, outside any target rule. After some cleaning, the file is much more "elegant". Unfortunately, the dh_installdir php-java-bridge/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps did not work as expected. I will try again tomorrow, looking for some mistake. Many thanks.
