but looks like make, unlike shell, literally just take the entire `grep ...` as the variable value.
It does, but will evaluate the backticks when you use it.

but it seems that the "export" command does not set the $VERSION value.
Shell lines in a makefile are executed individually and separately. exporting something won't do a thing to any other line.

AIMK(1PVM)							  PVM Version 3.4							AIMK(1PVM)

NAME
aimk - Portable make wrapper script SYNOPSIS
aimk [ -here ] [ make arguments ] DESCRIPTION
aimk is a wrapper program for make, used to portably select options to build PVM and PVM applications on various machines. Each port of PVM is assigned an architecture name. The name is used both during compilation (to conditionally switch in code) and at runtime (to select an executable or host). aimk uses the value of environment variable $PVM_ARCH if it is set, otherwise it calls $PVM_ROOT/pvmgetarch to determine the architecture name. pvmgetarch is a script that sniffs at various parts of the system to determine the correct architecture name. It is updated as new PVM ports are defined, and can be augmented locally. aimk determines the machine architecture and execs make, passing it the architecture and a configuration file along with arguments supplied to aimk. It runs make in a subdirectory to prevent executables from becoming intermixed and to permit overlapping compiles. A different makefile can be placed in each subdirectory or a single makefile, Makefile.aimk, can be shared between architectures. Per-architecture definitions from the $PVM_ROOT/conf directory are appended to the common makefile. aimk calls make is called in one of three ways, depend- ing on what makefiles are present: i. If $PVM_ARCH/Makefile or $PVM_ARCH/makefile exists, change directory to $PVM_ARCH and exec make there: (cd $PVM_ARCH ; make PVM_ARCH=$PVM_ARCH < aimk args >) ii. Else if Makefile.aimk exists, create $PVM_ARCH directory if it doesn't exist, then: (cd $PVM_ARCH ; make -f $PVM_ROOT/conf/$PVM_ARCH.def -f ../Makefile.aimk PVM_ARCH=$PVM_ARCH < aimk args >) iii. Else just exec make in current directory: make PVM_ARCH=$PVM_ARCH < aimk args > If aimk succeeds in calling make, the exit status is that of make, otherwise it is 1. FLAGS
-here Forces aimk to run make in the current directory, e.g. converts case i. to case iii. EXAMPLES
The following Makefile.aimk file builds and installs hello, creating the PVM binary directory if it doesn't exist. It can be run concur- rently on machines of different types, sharing the same source directory. LDIR = -L$(PVM_ROOT)/lib/$(PVM_ARCH) PVMLIB = -lpvm3 SDIR = .. BDIR = $(HOME)/pvm3/bin XDIR = $(BDIR)/$(PVM_ARCH) CFLAGS = -g -I$(PVM_ROOT)/include LIBS = $(LDIR) $(PVMLIB) $(ARCHLIB) $(XDIR): - mkdir $(BDIR) $(XDIR) hello: $(SDIR)/hello.c $(XDIR) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(SDIR)/$@.c $(LIBS) mv $@ $(XDIR) ENVIRONMENT
$PVM_ROOT Root path of PVM installation. $PVM_ARCH PVM architecture name for machine. FILES
$PVM_ROOT/lib/aimk The aimk program $PVM_ROOT/conf/$PVM_ARCH.def Arch config file SEE ALSO
