A bit off topic, but I'm kind of stuck.  I am using gmake and want to
do something like this:

    FOO := $(shell a | b | c)

remainder
of the pipeline is ignored.  Is there some clean way to implement this
kind of thing?



I use this in a GNUMakefile and it works fine.

     BRANCH := $(shell git branch --no-color | grep "^*" | sed -e 's/^\* //')


You may need to post a more specific example.

Here's the line that is failing:

2LATEX   = $(shell which rst2latex.py rst2latex | tr '\012' ' ' | awk '{print 
$1}')  --stylesheet=parskip

Bryan's example is using := for assignment.
