Follow-up Comment #3, bug #64746 (project make): Many have asked for a new "optional simple assignment" variant. I'm not opposed to it.
Another option that will work with most currently available versions of GNU make, although it looks somewhat scary, is described here: https://make.mad-scientist.net/deferred-simple-variable-expansion/ I haven't actually tested it to make sure it fixes this specific problem but based on my understanding of the issue it should. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64746> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
