Follow-up Comment #2, bug#65359 (group make): Hi, Martin,
Normally make variables are different with shell variables. Exported shell variables can be seen by make. However, exported make variables cannot be seen by shell in recipes. I don't know whether submake gets make exported variables via shell variables. But even if this is true, it cannot explain why the submake works well if removing the ';' at the end of the recipe (which invokes submake). [comment #1 comment #1:] > Because then Make runs the command with a shell and, perhaps particularly after Shellshock, shells are increasingly diligent about cleaning the environment (eg https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36989263/why-cant-environment-variables-with-dashes-be-accessed-in-bash-4-1-2), so what could Make do? I guess it could warn that your export is unlikely to work reliably. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65359> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
