Follow-up Comment #2, bug #56206 (project make):
Somehow my previous comment was truncated (I do so HATE Savannah markup :( ):
There is another assignment operator for variables, ‘?=’. This is called a
conditional variable
assignment operator, because it only has an effect if the variable is not yet
defined.
This statement:
FOO ?= bar
is exactly equivalent to this (see The origin Function):
ifeq ($(origin FOO), undefined)
FOO = bar
endif
Note that a variable set to an empty value is still defined, so ‘?=’ will
not set that variable.
