I have hard time to understand a part of the make manual, the problem can be a typo of a subject not clearly expressed, here is the point :
In the page about multiline variables : http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/make/Multi_002dLine.html A statement say that : "You may omit the variable assignment operator if you prefer. If omitted, make assumes it to be ‘=’" Then on the page about eval : http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Eval-Function.html#Eval-Function <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Eval-Function.html#Eval-Function>There is an example : define PROGRAM_template = $(1): $$($(1)_OBJS) $$($(1)_LIBS:%=-l%) ALL_OBJS += $$($(1)_OBJS) endef This example works for me only if I remove the '=' sign, so I tried a most simple test : define swap $(2) $(1) endef all: @echo $(call swap,foo,bar) And again, this works without an equal sign after the define, and don't work with it.
