Hello!
I need to create one very long string from makefile. I tied to split it using
backslash,
as I did it in shell script. But, when I executed makefile, the backslash was
translated
into space. I think it is not good. In the documentation there is description:
"If you would like to split a single shell command into multiple lines of text, you
must
use a backslash at the end of all but the last subline. Such a sequence of lines is
combined into a single line, by deleting the backslash-newline sequences, before
passing
it to the shell."
I used
GNU Make version 3.78.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

I attached makefile and make_output file where we can see blank between first
and second parts of the word. I attached shell script echo_sample.sh, which executing
shows us one big word without blank space inside.
