Further Reading of The Fine Manual reveals that that way to quote $ in a
makefile is to say "$$":
test: testexec
for test in $(TESTS); do ./$$test ; done
I'm using CPPUnit (http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/cppunit-wiki) to make
unit tests for each class in my C++ program. I can say "make test" to
have them all built and executed.
...
I thought I'd be clever and use the shell "for" control construct to
execute all the tests that are named in $(TESTS) rather than listing
them explicitly. But it doesn't work because make sees the $ and
expands it before passing the command line to the shell:
test: testexec
for test in $(TESTS); do ./$test; done
