Re: Target-specific variable in subdirectory problem

[Sven C. Dack]

It's my understanding that we don't actually know what Benjamin wants to 
do, because nobody has asked. So I don't see how this would make me wrong.

From his mail am I assuming he wants his Makefile to print "BAR" for a 
target "test-stem" as well as "subdir/test-stem", which is what he will 
get when he uses $(eval ...).

Respectfully,

Sven
