Follow-up Comment #4, bug #59154 (project make): "Newlines in variable expansions are treated as real newlines in the rule."
Well, yes, of course. What I didn't expect is for the command to be truncated at the first newline. The shell script BLAH="hi there" export BLAH echo "$BLAH" properly echoes out both lines of BLAH... yet a Makefile with the same line it it fails. But only in Gnu make; in BSD make, it works. I fail to understand how this could be by design. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59154> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
