Re: Online manual: wrong define in eval section

You can verify this using 'make --warn-undefined'. I don't know if the online version of the manual is outdated - but please fix it such that it contains the right syntax, since this example describes a rather complicated part of makefile techniques (- eval templates). It's not the manual that's outdated, it's your version of GNU make. The online manual always defines the latest version of GNU make, which is currently GNU make 3.82. You're using GNU make 3.81, which is not the latest, so your version of GNU make doesn't match the manual. You can tell this by looking right at the beginning of the manual where it says: This is Edition 0.71, last updated 19 July 2010, of The GNU Make Manual, for GNU make version 3.82. If you want accurate documentation then use the version that comes with the version of GNU make you have installed. Cheers! -- --- Paul D.

Somehow did not expect such a change in syntax at this age of GNU make or between minor version numbers. But sure, this is not an excuse for not reading the manual enough.

Somehow did not expect such a change in syntax at this age of GNU make or between minor version numbers. There is always new syntax in every release. As for version numbers, GNU make's versioning just goes up by one minor number each release. We've never bumped the major number even for significant new features. It would take a truly earth-shattering change to send us to 4.0 at this point (or alternatively, maybe we get to 3.99 and don't want to go to 3.100 :-)). The oldest version of GNU make I have documentation for was already 3.03, and that was released back in August of 1988. -- --- Paul D.
