I've just started using GNU make (3.80), and I'm confused why the
following doesn't work:
$(TARGETS): target := $@
The target variable remains empty.
That's happening because you used := which means that the variable
'target' is getting fully evaluated when it is defined. At that moment
$@ is not defined and hence 'target' is empty.
If you changed the line to:
$(TARGETS) : target = $@
then it would work.
Here's a simple example:
all: i_am = $@
all: ; @echo I am $(i_am)
which will output:
I am all
