Hello, I'm using cygwin bash 2.05b-8 (it's actually gnu). I thought that $HOSTNAME was an environment variable. When I run gnu make (I'm pretty sure this is not a make problem), $(HOSTNAME) is empty. It gets fixed if I do "export HOSTNAME" before running make.
Is there a way to check if the export command has been applied to $HOSTNAME? Does the actual transcription of $HOSTNAME's value to the environment happen only once, when "export" is applied, or is there a continual monitoring an mirroring of changes to $HOSTNAME forever after applying "export"?
