Corona688, thanks for you reply. I'm kind of new to the makefile business...
You are right, if I use "echo $VERSION" under any of the rules, the "`" expression will be evaluated, and the correct version string will be printed. So, is this the correct way people do to get some contents into the makefile?
This seems kind of odd to me, because each occurrence of $VERSION will cause an evaluation of the "`" expression. This is not what I would expect the behavior for the "variable" be. Or is there a better way to do this in make?

JMKMF(1) General Commands Manual JMKMF(1)
NAME
jmkmf - runs jmake with the correct options
SYNOPSIS
jmkmf [ top-level dir [ current dir ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Jmkmf is a wrapper which calls jmake with the correct options, defining the symbols TOPDIR (location of the top-level directory) and CURDIR
(current directory). The generated Makefile.SH is then ran through /bin/sh to produce a Makefile.
Jmkmf is useful when you generate a makefile for the first time.
When ran without arguments, jmkmf will scan the directories upwards, looking for a .package file marking the top of your sources. It will
then derive the top-level directory and the name of the current directory by itself.
Once you have a Makefile.SH generated by jmake, and have run Configure already, you can use make Makefile.SH to build the Makefile.SH again
and make Makefile to run the Makefile.SH through /bin/sh. To use the recursive commands, you have to append an 's' at the end of the name
as in make Makefiles.SH and make Makefiles.
