Hi all,
I am trying to understand how makefiles are parsed, e.g. why this
makefile:
# -----------
default:
echo hello
define foo
q:
echo this is q1
echo this is q2
endef
$(foo)
# -----------
ends up containing this (according to "make -pr"):
# -----------
q: echo this is q1
echo this is q2
# -----------
Is there anything other than the source that I can read to understand
this?
I am also confused as to why the above Makefile is accepted, while:
# -----------
default:
echo hello
q: echo this is q1
echo this is q2
# -----------
is rejected.
Thanks
Ian
