Oops. Fixed in CVS.

Cool.

I have seen thi on other platforms, too. I think the functions I use are
probably too new for the usual make. I'm using make 3.79.1. I will see if I
can find out which functions aren't supported by older versions of make and if
I can work around them.

I don't think so. update-mo needs things like

ALL_MOS = $(filter-out saneopts.%.mo,$(addsuffix .mo,$(basename $(ALL_POS))))

and

ALL_POS = $(wildcard *.po)

Maybe I can work-around the missing functions with the $(shell ...) function,
if the older makes support at least this one.

Can you try the following Makefile:

test = $(shell echo hallo)
all:
	@echo $(test)

and just run "make"? Does it print "hallo"?

Currently sane-backends depends on make 3.70. This means that at least
$(foreach and $(addprefix are available.

Bye,
