Summary: MAKEFLAGS with only variable settings X=y does not work properly Project: make Submitted by: rbless Submitted on: Montag 07.07.2008 um 13:04 Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Bug Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 3.81 Operating System: POSIX-Based Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: If you call make with a variable override X=y it will not be propagated correctly to other Makefiles: make TARGET=success will lead to make -f Makefile.sub -$(MAKEFLAGS) being expanded into make -f Makefile.sub -TARGET=success but using make -w TARGET=SUCCESS will correctly expand to make -f Makefile.sub -w -- TARGET=SUCCESS See attached Makefiles as an example make TARGET=success fails badly, whereas make -w TARGET=success succeeds. To my understanding make TARGET=success should expand "make -f Makefile.sub -$(MAKEFLAGS)" to make -f Makefile.sub -- TARGET=success Platform: Linux, Ubuntu 8.04, make -v GNU Make 3.81 _______________________________________________________ File Attachments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Montag 07.07.2008 um 13:04 Name: Makefile Size: 88B By: rbless Makefiles for demonstrating the bug. <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=16017> ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Montag 07.07.2008 um 13:04 Name: Makefile.sub Size: 128B By: rbless Makefiles for demonstrating the bug. <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=16018> _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?23793> _______________________________________________ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
