I have asked this question before, in an isolated example, and Paul said this is no problem what I am doing, but... I have rare, impossible to reproduce, yet universally fatal failures... I just want to make double sure, can anybody tell me there is anything wrong with this (I want to append the list to the file, and the reason why I can't just echo everything, is that this is Windows and there is command line length limitation, and the list can exceed that).
$(foreach item, $(very_long_list), $(shell echo $(item)>>foobar.txt)) What I see in those rare unreproducible failures, is that some random element of in the middle of the very long list does not get appended to the file... The reason why I don't post this to the Windows GNU make list, is, seems to me, either I am not understanding how foreach, or shell, work, or if not, then there is a problem with my understanding of Windows, but not, the problem with my misunderstanding of Windows GNU make.
