i just want to make sure i have the technically correct definition of an environment variable WRT makefiles.
based on testing, there are four ways i can set an env var that will automatically be passed to a further make invocation: 1) part of my linux shell environment 2) $ VAR=value make ... 3) $ make VAR=value ... 4) in the makefile, "export VAR = value" i realize there are some subtle differences in the above choices but, basically, do they all fit the definition of an "environment variable"? thanks. rday _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
