You could do that with the variables but you can't get rid of the dependency on GNU make that easily. It might be preferable to do it autoconf style, and automatically create the Local.rules that way, rather than burden the Makefile. Note that doing on-the-fly checks in XEmacs.rules or Local.rules can be extremely expensive because those files get included in every recursive make, and there are a _lot_ of them in a make World. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
