Hi,
It would be really nice if make somehow used the same instance of a shell in
the commands for a given rule, for example:
SHELL = /bin/bash
f :
a=5
@echo $${a}
does not do what one wants. instead you must say:
f :
@a=5; echo $${a}
It isn't a bug, since there is no claim that make retains a shell
environment.
I don't think it would be desirable to retain the shell environment across
rules, but within a rule, i think it makes sense.
