Portable Use of Variables

Hello, I'm a bit confused about all the expressive features and ways to use makefile variables, so just to be sure - http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Substitution-Refs.html Are these uses of variables portable, or should a portable Makefile.am use only the plain $(var) form wit

ing satisfied by it (since the script file exists), it complains there's no target for it (but none needed since it's a file and it already exists). Is there a solution for this in automake? If not, I'll take a look at the implementation of distcheck and see if anything can be
