A bit off topic, but I'm kind of stuck. I am using gmake and want to
do something like this:
FOO := $(shell a | b | c)

remainder
of the pipeline is ignored. Is there some clean way to implement this
kind of thing?
I use this in a GNUMakefile and it works fine.
BRANCH := $(shell git branch --no-color | grep "^*" | sed -e 's/^\* //')
You may need to post a more specific example.

Here's the line that is failing:
2LATEX = $(shell which rst2latex.py rst2latex | tr '\012' ' ' | awk '{print
$1}') --stylesheet=parskip
Bryan's example is using := for assignment.
That wasn't it, as it turned out. The problem was in the awk statement.
Instead of:
awk '{print $1}'
I had to use:
awk '{print $$1}'
This is necessary because $1 is a *make* variable but $$1 is the awk variable I
wanted ($1)....
D'uh ....
