"else" as a variable will never have another value. The POSIX standard for make reserves variables that start with "." and are all capitalized for the implementation. I suppose it's possible that there could be a function $(else ...) created, but I can't imagine what that would be and it wouldn't conflict with the variable "else" anyway. So, you're good. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
