It did indeed work, but only because I passed the setting on the make command line and not via the environment. I think one needs an override directive to actually override the settings from the command line: $ cat Makefile VAR1 := a1 VAR2 := a2 override VAR3 := a3 override VAR4 := a4 all: @echo $(VAR1) $(VAR2) $(VAR3) $(VAR4) $ VAR1=b1 VAR3=b3 make VAR2=b2 VAR4=b4 all a1 b2 a3 a4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
