why is indirect assignment inside eval, not working??

[Mark Galeck (CW)]

Hello,


define FOOBAR
FOO:=foo
BAR:=$(FOO)
endef

$(eval $(call FOOBAR))

bar:
                echo $(BAR)
                
foo:
                echo $(FOO)




OK, foo is printing as expected, but not bar:

C:\Temp\subdir>make foo
echo foo
foo

C:\Temp\subdir>make bar
echo
ECHO is off.


Why???  Thank you!  Mark
