Re: Setting an environment variable for tests

[Matthew Musgrove]

Marc,
I'm far from the Makefile expert but shouldn't the line that gets to the
Makefile
look like one of these?
    export MATH_ROUND_FAIR_DEBUG := 1
or:
    MATH_ROUND_FAIR_DEBUG := 1

If so, just wrapper that in a preamble call and it should be good to go.

Matt
