Re: variables in functions like FileExists

[Viraj Alankar]

Hm, I cannot seem to get the below working with v2.1.16a. It only
works if I don't use a variable in FileExists. Any ideas?

control:
  jdk150_home = ( "/usr/local/java/jdk1.5.0_02" )

classes:
  have_jdk150 = ( FileExists("${jdk150_home}") )
