Hello, I am reading through the documentation on https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html and believe I found a typo. Under section "6.11 Target-specific Variable Values" the following is written: The variable-assignment can be any valid form of assignment; recursive (‘=’), > simple (‘:=’ or ‘::=’), immediate (‘::=’), appending (‘+=’), or > conditional (‘?=’). Here, "immediate (‘::=’)" should instead say "immediate (‘:::=’)". Thank you, Josh
