Re: AM_CONDITIONAL and += macros

|Why is it that using '+=' inside an 'if' with automake causes errors?
|Here is an example makefile.am illustrating the offending behavior:
|
|DUMMY = a
|
|if SOME_CONDITION
|DUMMY += b
|endif
[...]
|Can anyone point to me what I am doing wrong or provide a workaround?

This is a known problem in Automake.  You can use the following
instead:

if SOME_CONDITION
MUMBLE = b
endif
DUMMY = a $(MUMBLE)
