[bug #29885] MAKEFLAGS doen't pass commandline varaibles to sub-make

[Jens Seidel]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #29885 (project make):

Now add


$(info MAKEFLAGS=${MAKEFLAGS})
$(info MAKEOVERRIDES=${MAKEOVERRIDES})


to the top part of the makefile:


$ make -f x2.mk FOO=bar
MAKEFLAGS=
MAKEOVERRIDES=FOO=bar
make -f  x2.mk show
make[1]: Entering directory
'/build/seidel/FaceVACS-Exp/new/FaceVACS-Exp-Software'
MAKEFLAGS=w
MAKEOVERRIDES=FOO=bar
: w -- FOO=bar


You see that MAKEFLAGS does not contain variable definitions or is there an
issue with $(info)?

I use $(info), $(warning), $(error) a lot for debugging and I currently want
to check whether the flag -k was specified as make flag. If MAKEFLAGS really
contains also variable settings I should check the older MFLAGS instead ...

Verified with make 4.1 and 3.81.
