Call with computed variable names

[Dave]

This is a resend - it's been a couple hours and I don't see the original message
appearing in the list. Apologies if this is just noise

--------------------

I've distilled a problem that I'm seeing to a minimal test case, see below.

Essentially, when using the call function, the computed variable name does not
appear to be evaluated correctly.

Is this expected?

Thanks,

Dave.

PS. I'm running on cygwin (DLL 1.5.10) on winXP, with make in unix mode


dkilroy
$ cat Makefile


define TEMPLATE
$(1)_VAR1=abc

$(1)_VAR2=$($(1)_VAR1)_def
endef

$(eval $(call TEMPLATE,FOO))

all:
        @echo Expect FOO_VAR1 to be abc
        @echo FOO_VAR1 is $(FOO_VAR1)
        @echo Expect FOO_VAR2 to be abc_def
        @echo FOO_VAR2 is $(FOO_VAR2)
