I made those changes, but then ran into a problem. If you set --with-backup-prefix to soemthing in a pound sign e.g; .# or # ...things blow up Makefile.am does not seem to have any facility for escaping interpolated values, and apparently pounds signs aren't portable in Makefile variable values anyhow. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-08/msg00023.html Consequently tests will fail for these particular settings like so: make check-TESTS make[2]: Entering directory `/home/belg4mit/nmh' /bin/sh: -c: line 9: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/sh: -c: line 91: syntax error: unexpected end of file make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2 Although if one can manage to escape the value as in the Makefile as shown below, the tests will pass: BACKUP_PREFIX = .\#
