After a few attempt, it turns out that the foreach is executed before the call to eval and therefore $(P) doesn't need to be escaped! > � target: > � � � � � $(foreach P, $(POL), $(MAKE) X=y P=$(P) biz && ) true > Neat trick! I was using ';' as a separator and that lead to symptoms I described. Now it works as expected! -- Emmanuel Menlo Security, Inc.
