Ah! Now it makes sense. $< is only guaranteed to be set for pattern rules; many make implementations, including Solaris's, do not set it for regular rules. You need to just repeat the name of the POD file in the build rule, unfortunately. (Or use a pattern rule, but that can be harder to do for things like this.) -- Russ Allbery (rra@xxxxxxxxxxxx) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
