Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to convert words to upper case.
Make itself does not seem to have dedicated function for this particular task,
unless I am mistaken, so I guess I had to rely on bash.
In bash, something like this:
var=foo; echo ${var^}
works fine. I get:
Foo
However, if I try to embed this command with my makefile like this:
$(shell var=foo; echo $${var^})
then I get:
/bin/sh: 1: Bad substitution
I am not sure what exactly that string expands to by make before it is passed
to bash so I am not sure which escape characters are missing (if that is the
problem).
---
Thank you in advance for any help.
