How do I escape it so that = is sent to command? I tried different things like escaping = with \ and enclosing it with "" and '' but none of them worked. *Here is the relevant command in my makefile.* *$(elabcmd) = $(XELAB_DEFAULT) \-generic VERSION=10* *compile:$(elabcmd)* *Here is the result:* cygwin prompt:> make compile *Running: xelab.exe -generic VERSION 10* *(note that the equal sign is not there)* I want *xelab.exe -generic VERSION=10* Thanks for any help. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
