[Savannah-users] what's this mean: echo := $(shell echo "welcome")

2010-07-02 Thread Jiongliang Zhang
Hi, I see some make.version files, has this kind of sentence: ifndef MAKE_VERSION echo := $(shell echo "welcome...") endif if the echo := xxx is variable, but I can't get the value by this sentence: $(echo) so what's the first echo mean? -- Best regards! Thanks Jiongliang Zhang
