RE: another really dumb question

[Mark Galeck (CW)]

Right, you and Christof said the same thing.  Thank you for both you .  But, 
and now I am really going to embarrass myself, but OK, let me shine my 
ignorance,

When I do

define FOOBAR
FOO := bar
$(info $(FOO))
endef

$(eval $(call FOOBAR))

what I thought was going to happen, is, 
1. eval expands $(call), then

2.
FOO :=bar
$(info $(FOO))

is parsed. When that happens, the result is first
$(info bar)
and then this is parsed and the result is nothing as syntax, but "bar" printed 
to stdout

and that should be it.  Where am I going wrong here?

this will be executed right here, because it is unquoted. What you want
