Sam is right; this is one of those cases where, given a hammer (and eval
is a hammer with a particularly slippery grip), everything looks like a
nail.
What's wrong with the tradition, portable, been-in-use-since-the-1970's
method of doing this:
all:
for file in $(FILES); do $(COMPILER) $(FLAGS) $$file || exit 1; done
I mean, besides the fact that is totally wrong given -k and also given
parallelism (-j)?
For that matter, what's wrong with the usual method which works properly
in all situations:
all: $(FILES:.asm=.o)
%.o : %.asm
$(COMPILER) $(FLAGS) $<
