Probably make is running a shell, like sh.exe or something. In the
normal shell, $ introduces a shell variable. So you have to use the
double $$ to quote it from make, then use a backslash or quotes to quote
it from the shell:
sabcmd XML/Inhalt.xsl Index.xml Index.html \$$wurzel=de
Since you're using Windows it can be confusing to know what shell make
is using to invoke your command script, and how it's executed. It
depends on how you've built make, etc.
