hello, world\n
I've been thinking long and deep and even made a few attempts at using
shell "here documents" in the commands for a rule. My conclusion is that
it is impossible, at least with a POSIX shell. Make's command execution
with sh is inherently line oriented, while here documents are multi-line
by definition. Continuing lines in the Makefile with backslash newline
can't work because the shell only sees the resulting single line.
In the remote event that I have overlooked something, does anyone
know a way how to get something like
cat << EOF
foo
bar
EOF
in a rule?
PS: Yes, I can get the same effect with a fews echos. Consider it a
proof-of-concept question.
Regards,
Jens
