These are my personal blog posts. They may use different terminology than the manual. The "define" construct is already in the index. There is a brief reference to "macro" in the manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Using-Variables (In some other versions of make, variables are called macros.) I'm not sure such trivial mention merits an addition to the index. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
