Re: GNU MAKE issue

[Oliver Shariff III]

Thank you Bob, thank you so much for your explanation and your
suggestion about make help group.. I take care
that is so strange I could get any information I want through shell
variables in make
I paste complete code of macro I am working on; what I want us to get
value from $(shell pwd | tr -s "/" " ") and include it
on next echo "$$word/$$found......"
but it seems $(shell) is not working properly or my sintaxys is sooo
bad...

Thank you for your reply


Greetings
