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.

JMKMF(1) General Commands Manual JMKMF(1)
NAME
jmkmf - runs jmake with the correct options
SYNOPSIS
jmkmf [ top-level dir [ current dir ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Jmkmf is a wrapper which calls jmake with the correct options, defining the symbols TOPDIR (location of the top-level directory) and CURDIR
(current directory). The generated Makefile.SH is then ran through /bin/sh to produce a Makefile.
Jmkmf is useful when you generate a makefile for the first time.
When ran without arguments, jmkmf will scan the directories upwards, looking for a .package file marking the top of your sources. It will
then derive the top-level directory and the name of the current directory by itself.
Once you have a Makefile.SH generated by jmake, and have run Configure already, you can use make Makefile.SH to build the Makefile.SH again
and make Makefile to run the Makefile.SH through /bin/sh. To use the recursive commands, you have to append an 's' at the end of the name
as in make Makefiles.SH and make Makefiles.
