Hi,
Thank you for the response. I think that I understand that, but still not

Hi,
The GNU make documentation states:
*define myrule
target:
echo built
endef
$(myrule)

My suspicion is that there are various places in the manual where the
terms "expand" and "evaluate" are not used exactly correctly. They
might even be used interc

I've seen people post answers to GNU Make questions on StackOverflow
