Re: echoing a multiline variable (to a flie)

[Stephan Beal]

On Sat, May 1, 2010 at 12:51 PM, Martin Mensch all:

address@hidden -f Test.txt
address@hidden $(LONG_TEXT) >> Test.txt

That can't work in this context because $(LONG_TEXT) is expanded before the recipe. So the recipe ends up looking like:

echo first line

second line

...

How can I do it?

Get rid of the newlines?

Alternately, you could put them in an extra file (possibly generating that file via make) and do:

@cat thefile >> Test.txt
