RE: [Axiom-developer] Re: [Axiom-mail] Compiling Axiom on FreeBSD

[Weiss, Juergen]

My suggestion would be a toplevel Makefile.inc or
Makefile.linux, which defines all the globally relevant
variables and which is included by every Makefile.
This would solve the problem with the passing of
environment variables from Makefile to Makefile,
which I find rather clumsy.
