hi list,
below's a small makefile which probably results in a
"make: execvp: echo: Argument list too long"
my problem is I have a large list in a make-variable. I want to process
each element of that list (individually). But any attempt with
shell-loops ends up in the same error, and GNU-make-wise I am not
getting there.
Note that I don't need to echo the variable all in one go, but instead
do something with each element. However I am lacking the propper syntax.
Matthias

include largefile.mak
all:
@echo $(LARGE_VAR)
largefile.mak:
for i in `seq 10000` ; do \
echo "LARGE_VAR+=some_value_$$i" >> largefile.mak ; \
done
