Follow-up Comment #4, bug#65359 (group make): As demonstrated by eg:
martind@stormy:~/tmp/make-65359$ cat Makefile export BADGER = wombat default:; echo BADGER = $$BADGER martind@stormy:~/tmp/make-65359$ Variables are communicated to subprocesses, be they Make, the shell or otherwise, via the environment. There is no other way. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65359> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
