Hmm, I've never used target-specific variables in a pattern rule. Also, since target-specific variables look like dependency specifications to me, I put them after command-containing target rules. So I'd write this ias # Variable declarations SING := Once or Twice: # Target definitions .PHONY: all all: a b a b: ; @echo $(SING) # Dependencies a b: SING += lala $@ which produces what you want when you enter "make" with no arguments. But I can't really explain why! Maybe Paul can do better ...
