Can't it rather be solved by exporting variables to the $(shell) unexpanded? Then, when one actually wants expansion, export ID := $(shell id -a) var := $(shell echo hi) should do the trick, no? > > You need to explicitly provide the variables you need in the shell > function: > > var := $(shell MY_VAR='$(MY_VAR)'; echo "value = $$MY_VAR") Yeah, that obviously works, but I rather hoped to set LC_ALL=C once for everythig ever called from given Makefile. -- Sergey _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
