#3 Makefile problem

[Jeremy Bender]

Compiling xclass-0.7.4 on a Sparc/Solaris 2.8 box
comes up with a makefile problem in lib/libxclass. It
complains about the line that reads "shared: CXXFLAGS
+= -fPIC", stating that macro assignment is not
allowable on a dependency line. To correct this simply
change the above line to read "shared := CXXFLAGS
+= -fPIC".
Other than that everything works great!

What I wanted with the 'shared: CXX...' was to have a
target-specific variable assignment. The value -fPIC should
be added to the CXXFLAGS only when doing a 'make shared'.
Note that the ':=' change will NOT produce the desired
result, it will just create a variable named shared, and
CXXFLAGS will remain unchanged. GNU gmake understands the
original Makefile without problems and produces the correct
variable expansions, I would recommend using it under
Solaris too to compile xclass.
