make ... [-m name:body ...] ...
DESCRIPTION
This version of make now allows limited definition of macros on
the command line when invoking the utility. The syntax of a
command line macro definition is:
-m <name>:<body>
where <name> is the macro name and <body> is the macro text. The
macro name, seperator, and body may not contain whitespace.
You may define more than one macro this way, the only limitation
being the maximum size of the comand line. However, unlike
macros defined in the makefile, macros cannot be "undefined"
from the command line; you must specify definition text to
associate with the name.
Make performs macro substitution and escape character processing
on the command line definitions.
Because the Lattice C start-up routine consumes any equal-sign
characters and immediately following text that appear on the
command line, the syntax of a command line macro definition must
be different from the syntax used in the makefile. Sorry about
that. Complaints should be directed to Lattice.
