If you are using GNU make 4.0 or better you can use the $(file ...) function to write to a file (there is no limit, other than memory, to the size of a variable in GNU make and so no limit to the amount of content you can add to a file with the $(file ...) function), then invoke a shell script on that file instead of using "echo ...". https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/File-Function.html _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
