Hi,
I'm using GNU make 3.74 on a HP 715/50 with HPUX 10.20 and have encountered a
problem with target-specific variable.
Using the following makefile;
---------------------------------------------------
STRING="The default value of a variable"
all:
@echo $(STRING)
variable:=STRING="A target-specific variable has been set"
variable:
@echo $(STRING)
----------------------------------------------------
If I invoke....
$make variable
The result is....
The default value of a variable
When using UNIX make, the expected result is obtained, ie:
A target-specific variable has been set
Is this a known problem, or is my syntax wrong from the GNU make perspective?
Kind Regards,
Tony Norkus.
