hi again,

For now, you'll need to assign a dummy variable with the call as in:

_ignore = [ $(RULE) params ] ;

hideous, but it works..

Actually, a better solution would probably to define a new rule like the following:

########################################################## # # invoke VARIABLE : params1 : params2 : params3 : .... # # a special rule used to invoke rules indirectly. # $(<) must be a variable name and will be expanded # to determine which rule to call # # rule invoke # VARIABLE : params1 : params2 : .... { local _ignore ;

_ignore = [ $($(1)) $(2) : $(3) : $(4) : $(5) : $(6) : $(7) : $(8) : $(9) ]
; }

and a simple example would be:

RULE = "ECHO" ; invoke RULE : "hello world" ;

seems a lot cleaner :-)
