No. define/endef is not supported directly in kernel-specific
variables. The entire definition must fit onto one logical line.
You can always do this:
define _foo
@echo This is a multi-line definition
@echo of myvar with foo in it.
endef
define _bar
@echo This is a multi-line definition
@echo of myvar with bar in it.
endef
foo : myvar = $(_foo)
bar : myvar = $(_bar)
foo :
$(myvar)
bar :
$(myvar)
Of course in this simple example there are much less complex ways to
manage this; just using $@ would be enough:
define myvar
@echo This is a multi-line definition
@echo of myvar with $@ in it.
endef
foo :
$(myvar)
bar :
$(myvar)
