Hi, [Please retain a CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that the Debian Bug tracking sysem can record the conversation on this issue.] make 3.79.1 fails with an assertion error when a target-specific variable append is combined with setting the variable on the make command line. The following is a self explanatory minimal case. ====================================================================== __> cat Makefile CFLAGS=-g -O2 all: foo.o foo.c: touch foo.c foo.o: CFLAGS += -Dsomething __> make touch foo.c cc -g -O2 -Dsomething -c -o foo.o foo.c __> rm -f foo* __> make CFLAGS=-O touch foo.c make: expand.c:489: allocated_variable_append: Assertion `current_variable_set_list->next != 0' failed. Aborted __> ====================================================================== -- It's clever, but is it art?
