When you give an argument to make, such as "messages=yes", what you do is
define a make variable "messages" havin the value of "yes", isn't it?
Consequently, puting the stanza "messages=yes" in the Makefile has the
same results. The question that you must answer is: in which Makefile do
you put that.
do you mean I am setting it in the "mgar" Makefile?
My goal is to set it in the target makefile, the one of the package, so
that it enables the output.
I want the equivalent of what I would do by hand:
$ tar xf myapp.tar
$ cd myapp
$ ./configure
$ make messages=yes
gcc <long arguments>
.....
Right now it seems that gar just does "make"
Perhaps another way would be changing the MAKE variable (which already
should be set to gmake) ? if there is one.
In other tystem I solved this by doing MAKE="gmake messages=yes" for
example.
