Re: Problem with command line make.

["Charles S. Wilson" <cwilson at ece dot gatech dot edu>]

Just a hunch, but I think you need to check the documentation for make 
('info make').  Look for 'variables' or 'assignment'.  There's a 
difference between

a = foo

   and

a := foo

which has to do with immediate vs. delayed assignment, and I think 
THAT's what is biting you.
