the following works:
result:=$(shell echo something '...(foo)...')
foo:
echo result: '$(result)'
.PHONY: foo
rangda[/home/sean] make -f foo.mk :)
echo result: 'something ...(foo)...'
result: something ...(foo)...
the following breaks:
result:=$(shell echo something '...(foo))...')
foo:
echo result: '$(result)'
.PHONY: foo
rangda[/home/sean] make -f foo.mk :)
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
echo result: '...')'
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `echo result: '...')''
make: *** [foo] Error 2
note that the use case where this came up was a sed expression with
a [^)] in it, so this is not just some kinda contrived problem. it seems
like make is counting the ('s and )'s when parsing, regardless of whether
it should or should not.
