There is no difference between the two. They both declare environment variables for make.

What is exactly the difference ? Is there a page in the Make manual explaining that ? Thanks a lot, P. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make Help-make -- Users list for the GNU implementation of make<https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make> lists.gnu.org Help-make -- Users list for the GNU implementation of make About Help-make _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
