RE: conditionals not working for conditional variables in sub-make?

You misunderstand something.

That's only a small fraction of what I see, with make-3.81.  This is what I see:

 

address@hidden:~/tmp/bug-make-2009-05-07$ make

make var1

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/martind/tmp/bug-make-2009-05-07'

VAR=foo VAR2=bar VAR3=foo

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/martind/tmp/bug-make-2009-05-07'

make var2

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/martind/tmp/bug-make-2009-05-07'

VAR=bar VAR2=bar VAR3=bar

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/martind/tmp/bug-make-2009-05-07'

address@hidden:~/tmp/bug-make-2009-05-07$

 

Perhaps you want the "all" rule to say:

 

all: var1 var2

 

Then I see the desired output:

 

address@hidden:~/tmp/bug-make-2009-05-07$ make

VAR=foo VAR2=bar VAR3=foo

address@hidden:~/tmp/bug-make-2009-05-07$

Please see the makefile attached.

by running it it outputs:

VAR=foo VAR2=bar VAR3=foo

 

but I think VAR2 should be foo.

 

Bug or do I misunderstand something?

 

thanks,
