This is a GCC forum. Your question is a Make question. I do not say this to chastise. I mention it so that you may ask your quest= ion on the appropriate forum, so as to get answers from people who are more= familiar with that domain -- and as such the answers will probably be more= quickly answered and more accurately answered. That being said... You should read the documentation on Make on how it uses environment variab= les. 6.9 Variables from the Environment http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Environment.html You should also verify that your environment variables are exported. If th= ey are not exported, then they are not visible to child processes. HTH, --Eljay
