Hi,

I'm looking for a way to export/set an environment variable while I'm inside
a target.  I'm using gnuMake to launch several thousand simulation
regression runs and want to be able to know what target is currently being
executed.  I have one external perl script which I would like to query an
environment variable named "CURRENT_TARGET" and perform conditional
statements based on the value.  Below is some sample code of what I'm trying
to do.


test1: 
        export CURRENT_TARGET = $@
        @printenv | grep CURRENT_TARGET

test2:
       export CURRENT_TARGET = $@
       @printenv | grep CURRENT_TARGET

What I want to happen is:

make test1
test1  <---- output from printenv command
make test2
test2

My perl script would be able to look at the CURRENT_TARGET env variable and
do some stuff.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Phil
