I'm trying to include some env vars into a Makefile. The env file looks like:
FOO=bar
BAZ=quux
Note there's no leading export
to each env var. If I add the leading export
and just include
the env file in the Makefile, everything works as it should. But I need to keep the env vars sans leading export
. That prevents me from just using include envfile
in the Makefile.
I've also tried doing something like this:
sed '/^#/!s/^/export /' envfile > $(BUILDDIR)/env
include $(BUILDDIR)/env
But doing that cause make to throw an error because the env file isn't there for including.

If you are using gnu make, what should work is to include the
envfile
file, then export the list of vars got from the same file:
