Follow-up Comment #2, bug #20501 (project make): As far as I can see this is not a bug, this is make performing exactly as described in the manual. MAKEFLAGS is not a live way of controlling a running make's behaviour, it is used solely for the purpose of passing down to a recursive invocation of make; that is why you find they work when you run a "subsequent call from the makefile", by which I think you mean a recursive submake invocation.
Please review the make documentation, "5.7.3 Communicating Options to a Sub-`make'", and verify whether you really have a bug here or not. http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Options_002fRecursion.html#Options_002fRecursion cheers, DaveK _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20501> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
