In doing my last changes, I noticed that in many Makefiles.am, constructs like @MATWRAP@ and @MKOCTFILE@ are used. This is bad practice. Use $(MATWRAP) and $(MKOCTFILE) instead, which is the standard, advised style. The reason for this is simple: variables could be replaced in the invocation of make, like this: make MKOCTFILE=my-mkoctfile Using the construct @VARIABLE@ prevents doing that. This is not a particular problem in the PLplot project, since I guess that people barely need the variable substitution feature. However, try to follow the good usage rule, please. I will fix those @VAR@ instances in the various Makefile.am, eventually. -- Rafael |
