Solaris 2.6, Autoconf 2.57. I guess I need to replace my use of $< in a Makefile. In a Makefile.in I have: %.1: ../pod/%.pod pod2man --center="SWISH-E Documentation" --lax --release='$(VERSION)' $< > $@ When I build on Solaris $< doesn't seem to get used: pod2man --center="SWISH-E Documentation" --lax --release='2.4.0-pr4-2003-10-19' > swish-e.1 *** Error code 2 (ignored) Notice that the $< isn't being supplied. I don't really understand the problem, but is my only solution to create a separate rule for each .pod -> .1 file? I guess I'm looking for an example of how to correctly write the above.
