First: is the second "standard include file" supposed to be the same as the first? It looks to me like the output you want is: 123 789 Second, when you tried target-specific variables, did you use the := instead of = ? This seems to work fine for me: # The main make file targets := all: do-targets # This comes from an included file for a foo := a target := abc flags := 123 # This comes from a standard include file $(target): flags:=$(flags) $(target): @echo "$@ has flags: $(flags)" targets += $(target) # This comes from an included file for b foo := b target := xyz flags := 789 # This comes from a standard include file $(target): flags:=$(flags) targets += $(target) $(target): @echo "$@ has flags: $(flags)" # this is back to the main include file do-targets: $(targets) ### EOF ### The only changes are to your standard include file. I get the output of '123' and '789' using make 3.79.1 and make 3.80. Note that if you want to use more variables than just $(flags) in your command script, you need a line to set each one.
