Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: make
I am running 9.10 on x86_64 (updated yesterday), make 3.81-6.
The following Makefile:
-------------------------------------------------
target1: OPTVAR?=/usr/local
target1:
echo "Value for $@ '$(OPTVAR)'."
target2:
echo "Value for $@ is '$(OPTVAR)'."
-------------------------------------------------
Make seems to behave badly with such a Makefile:
shell> make OPTVAR=x target1 target2
echo "Value for target1 '�!M'."
Value for target1 '�!M'.
echo "Value for target2 is '�!M'."
Value for target2 is '�!M'.
Whereas it has the expected behavior when passing OPTVAR through the
environment:
shell> env OPTVAR=x make target1 target2
echo "Value for target1 'x'."
Value for target1 'x'.
echo "Value for target2 is 'x'."
Value for target2 is 'x'.
It also behaves as expected when OPTVAR is left undefined:
shell> make target1 target2
echo "Value for target1 '/usr/local'."
Value for target1 '/usr/local'.
echo "Value for target2 is ''."
Value for target2 is ''.
I believe this is a regression from jaunty.
