Hi, when using Makefiles something like this is executed at runtime, so a variable can be set by a command:
PWD=`pwd` or PDW=$(pwd) sets the Varaible $PWD to the current path. If one of both forms is used in a fpcmake-file that doesn't work. [dist] destdir=`pwd`/dist If used that way, the string "`pwd`/dist" is copied as is with no replacement at all. I didn't try the other form because it's the variable syntax in fpcmake-files. How can I make command execution work? If used in a [prerules] section it does work, which is as expected because that section is only copied according to the manual.
