I want assigned the variable something in shell some value and then echo it.
######## .PHONY: all all: something=$(shell basename abc.txt .txt) echo $(something) echo $$(something) ################ But the above code doesn't work. Would you please let me know what the correct way is to assign a shell variable and retrieve it? $ make something=abc echo echo $(something) /bin/sh: something: not found -- Regards, Peng _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
