echoing a multiline variable (to a flie)

[Martin Mensch]

Hello,

 

how to output a multiline variable to a file?

I tried this but it failed:

 

define LONG_TEXT
first line

second line

one more line

and so on

endef

 

all:
 @rm -f Test.txt
 @echo $(LONG_TEXT) >> Test.txt

.PHONY : all

 

It echos "first line" to the console and then tries to create a process "second line" and stops with an error.

 

How can I do it?

 

Thank you for any help

 

Martin
