This is https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?10593 It should be made to work, but unfortunately it's not completely trivial to fix, since you can have infinite loops like: export ID = $(shell id -a) var := $(shell echo hi) Some sort of loop detection on variable expansion needs to be implemented. You need to explicitly provide the variables you need in the shell function: var := $(shell MY_VAR='$(MY_VAR)'; echo "value = $$MY_VAR") _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
