+ <h1 class="section">The Two Flavors of Variables</h1> <p>There are different ways that a variable in GNU <code>make</code> can get a value; we call them the <em>flavors</em> of variables. The flavors are distinguished in how they handle the values they are assigned in the makefile, and in how those values are managed when the variable is later used and expanded. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr>
