When using this Makefile
------------
export PATH:=la:$(PATH)
$(info $(shell echo $$PATH))
all:
@echo $$PATH
------------
The output is
$ make
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
la:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
The PATH is not being exported to the shell from $(shell), but it is
to the shell used to run the rules.
This is being a problem for me because I am trying to use $(shell
pkg-config --cflags <pkg>) with pkg-config from the OpenWRT
(https://openwrt.org/) toolchain, which is actually a script calling
pkg-config.real... in the PATH from OpenWRT.
I am using make 4.0, from Fedora 23. Is this a bug, or expected? If
it's expected... any suggestion about how to solve my pkg-config
problem?
Thanks.
