Follow-up Comment #2, bug #29885 (project make): Now add
$(info MAKEFLAGS=${MAKEFLAGS}) $(info MAKEOVERRIDES=${MAKEOVERRIDES}) to the top part of the makefile: $ make -f x2.mk FOO=bar MAKEFLAGS= MAKEOVERRIDES=FOO=bar make -f x2.mk show make[1]: Entering directory '/build/seidel/FaceVACS-Exp/new/FaceVACS-Exp-Software' MAKEFLAGS=w MAKEOVERRIDES=FOO=bar : w -- FOO=bar You see that MAKEFLAGS does not contain variable definitions or is there an issue with $(info)? I use $(info), $(warning), $(error) a lot for debugging and I currently want to check whether the flag -k was specified as make flag. If MAKEFLAGS really contains also variable settings I should check the older MFLAGS instead ... Verified with make 4.1 and 3.81. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?29885> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
