<h1 class="subsection">Interfaces from Guile to make</h1> <p>In addition to the <code>guile</code> function available in makefiles, <code>make</code> exposes some procedures for use in your Guile scripts. At startup <code>make</code> creates a new Guile module, <code>gnu make</code>, and exports these procedures as public interfaces from that module: </p> <dl compact> <dt id="gmk-expand"><code>gmk-expand</code></dt> <dd>
<p>This procedure takes a single argument which is converted into a string. The string is expanded by <code>make</code> using normal <code>make</code> expansion rules. The result of the expansion is converted into a Guile string and provided as the result of the procedure. </p> </dd> <dt id="gmk-eval"><code>gmk-eval</code></dt> <dd>
<p>This procedure takes a single argument which is converted into a string. The string is evaluated by <code>make</code> as if it were a makefile. This is the same capability available via the <code>eval</code> function (see <a href="eval-function">Eval Function</a>). The result of the <code>gmk-eval</code> procedure is always the empty string. </p> <p>Note that <code>gmk-eval</code> is not quite the same as using <code>gmk-expand</code> with the <code>eval</code> function: in the latter case the evaluated string will be expanded <em>twice</em>; first by <code>gmk-expand</code>, then again by the <code>eval</code> function. </p> </dd> </dl><div class="_attribution">
