Walter:

Consider the following SMAKE fragment:

.cpp{\path\with_underscore}.obj:
	$(CXX) -c -o"$@" $(CXXFLAGS) "$<"

SMAKE complains about the "_" in "with_underscore". Is that standard behavior or an unexpected feature? If it's an unexpected feature, currently kills the STLport build process I'm attempting to complete.

Are you sure smake really complains about '_' ? Perhaps error is related to other thing but wrong formylated or understood ? I ask because Bakefile creates SMAKE makefiles for wxWidgets with a lot of underscores (thought not in inference rules).

What about quoting error message ?

I don't post things w/o testing them first. If you cut-n-paste those two exact lines and run SMAKE, SMAKE will complain about the "_".
