I just realized this, which I think might be a bug: FOO := foo FOO +=#nothing here all: ; @echo '"$(FOO)"'
This prints: $ make "foo " with a space, not: "foo" which is what I'd expect. Seems like the += adds the space character even if the value being added is empty. That doesn't seem like desirable behavior to me. Of course I can easily fix this myself, I'm just wondering if anyone thinks this behavior is correct and shouldn't be changed. The manual says only: > [...] adds the text [...] to it (preceded by a single space). Which doesn't directly address the situation where there is no text. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
