Summary: MAKEFLAGS with only variable settings X=y does not
work properly
Project: make
Submitted by: rbless
Submitted on: Montag 07.07.2008 um 13:04
Severity: 3 - Normal
Item Group: Bug
Status: None
Privacy: Public
Assigned to: None
Open/Closed: Open
Discussion Lock: Any
Component Version: 3.81
Operating System: POSIX-Based
Fixed Release: None
_______________________________________________________
Details:
If you call make with a variable override X=y it will
not be propagated correctly to other Makefiles:
make TARGET=success
will lead to
make -f Makefile.sub -$(MAKEFLAGS)
being expanded into
make -f Makefile.sub -TARGET=success
but using
make -w TARGET=SUCCESS
will correctly expand to
make -f Makefile.sub -w -- TARGET=SUCCESS
See attached Makefiles as an example
make TARGET=success
fails badly, whereas
make -w TARGET=success
succeeds. To my understanding
make TARGET=success
should expand "make -f Makefile.sub -$(MAKEFLAGS)" to
make -f Makefile.sub -- TARGET=success
Platform: Linux, Ubuntu 8.04, make -v
GNU Make 3.81
