This can't work, since ":=" means "immediate evaluation" and when this
line is read in by make, the value of the variable $@ is empty (of
course, since it only has a value within a rule context).
c> %: VAL := $@
Ditto here; why do you want to use ":=" instead of just "=" here?
c> LIST := a b c
c> $(LIST): echo-val
c> echo-val: ; @echo VAL = $(VAL)
I guess I'm not sure _what_ you're trying to do; maybe a little context
or description about the results you're looking for would help.
