Setting/Modifying variable specific to target in Makefile
Hi,

I have a small piece of Makefile script which throw's error on Sun Sparc machine, but works fine with Sun Optron, Linux, AIX machines.
Code:
FOO=Naveen
test1:FOO=Dhilip

test1:
@echo FOO is ${FOO}

test2:
@echo Me is ${FOO}

Output on Sun Sparc -
Code:
ukhml-v890new-~/test: make test1
make: *** No rule to make target `FOO=Dhilip', needed by `test1'. Stop.

Output on Sun Optron -
Code:
ukhml-helios-~/shivtest: make test1
FOO is Dhilip

Anyone has an idea, why this syntax error thrown on Sun Sparc ?

Regards.,
Naveen Sriram.

which version of make are you using on the two sun boxes ?
Also what version of O/S ? (Any patches installed that affect make ?)

looks like the gnu make is different - might be worth dowloading 3.80 from Sunfreeware - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Sun Microsystem's Solaris or the like...
