      ide/app.tpp/About$$en-us.tppi \

Obivously, BSD make variant seems to replace "$$e" with empty string.

That is weird, as "$$" is escape sequence for "$" (which is consistent
with files contained - there is file "ide/app.tpp/About$en-us.tppi").

Everything works just fine in Linux using GNU make.

Is "$$e" something special for BSD make? Is there any other way how to
escape '$' ?

Well, actually, I am sort of getting that package ready to be build in
BSD (with not much BSD experiences); if it is possible, I would like
to use 'BSD standard' make....
