In the example below, shouldn't
foo='$(foo)'
with single quotes pass the string
$(foo)
itself, instead of its value?
$cat pass_options.make
foo = xyz
.PHONY: all
all:
$(MAKE) -f receive_options.make foo=$(foo)
$(MAKE) -f receive_options.make foo='$(foo)'
$(MAKE) -f receive_options.make foo="$(foo)"
$cat receive_options.make
.PHONY: all
all:
echo foo is $(foo)
$/tmp/make-3.81beta4/make -s -f pass_options.make
foo is xyz
foo is xyz
foo is xyz
I'm using beta4, but older versions seem to work the same way.
