为什么 GNU Make 罐头食谱不起作用？

Question

我希望看到由下面的 makefile 创建的文件 foo1 和 foo3。然而，只创建了一个文件 foo3。在我看来，罐头食谱 make-foo 似乎被 make 忽略了。目标 foo1 和 foo2（空配方）的调试结果是相同的。

# why canned recipe doesn't work ?
# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Canned-Recipes
define make-foo =
echo making $@
touch $@
endef

.PHONY: all
all: foo1 foo2 foo3

# foo1 is not created, but why ?
.PHONY: foo1
foo1:
    $(make-foo)

# debug output similar to foo1
.PHONY: foo2
foo2:

# this works
.PHONY: foo3
foo3:
    echo making $@
    touch $@

运行make：

xxxx@xxxx:/dev/shm$ make -dRr

缺少foo1：

我认为您不希望 = 位于 define 行的末尾。这个makefile在这里为我工作：

define make-foo
echo making $@
touch $@
endef

.PHONY: foo1
foo1:
    $(make-foo)

例子：

$ make
echo making foo1
making foo1
touch foo1
$ ls
Makefile  foo1

GNU make manual 似乎表明= 应该没问题，但像你一样，如果我有它，我会得到不同的行为。
