RE: Initializing variables in rules

[PATTON, BILLY \(SBCSI\)]

Theirry,

  Someone else may correct may but as it has been my honor of learning much about make in the last few weeks.

name := world is make syntax.  After it gets into the command section is it shell syntax. The 2 don't mix very well

Subject: Initializing variables in rules

Is it possible to initialize a variable in a rule, for example:

 

 

hello:

            name := world

 

 

Thanks
