RE: Help with # in variables and targets

[PATTON, BILLY \(SBCSI\)]

This seem to work :
xxx := abc\#

define abc
$(1) :
endef
$(warning $(call abc,$(subst #,\#,$(xxx))))

So the # is only a valid comment mark at particular locations.
# $(subst #,\#,$(xxx))))   -> here only one # is recognized as a comment
$(subst #,\#,$(xxx))))     -> no # is recognized as comment.

Guess I didn't remember reading that part about comments.
But I like what it does :)

Good work guys :)
