Using := over = doesn't really matter in this context, but export is important. The export prefix exports that variable as an environment variable to programs make runs instead of just residing in the makefile. := means evaluate the expression now and it only important if the expression includes variables. 1 is just 1. The problem here is that export is GNU Make specific and does not exist in BSD Make or others. > > If so, just wrapper that in a preamble call and it should be good to go. > > Matt > > > On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 7:16 PM, Marc Mims <m...@questright.com > <mailto:m...@questright.com>> wrote: > > I recently released a new version of Math::Round::Fair.
