On SCO Xenix 2.2.1, the development system 2.2.1 /bin/make program lacks the Berkeley "MFLAGS" macro; from looking through a SysV manual it appears that all SysV's lack this... Does someone have source code to a public domain make(1) that includes the MFLAGS macro? (MFLAGS on Berkeley make contains the flags and definitions provided on the command line of the preceeding level of make, so you can walk down a subdirectory maintaining CFLAGS, definition, etc...) -- Jay Libove ARPA: jl42@andrew.cmu.edu or libove@cs.cmu.edu 5731 Centre Ave, Apt 3 BITnet: jl42@andrew or jl42@drycas Pittsburgh, PA 15206 UUCP: uunet!nfsun!libove!libove or (412) 362-8983 UUCP: psuvax1!pitt!darth!libove!libove

Xenxi make has "MAKEFLAGS". No hyphen, but it works. submake: cd subdir; $(MAKE) -$(MAKEFLAGS) -- Chip Salzenberg <chip@ateng.com> or <uunet!ateng!chip> A T Engineering Me? Speak for my company?
