I saw the following in a code once in a Makefile. What is the colon in the middle means?
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/e3rd/lib:/3rd/im/lib
It doesn’t look like the same as the colon from Colon and $ in makefile.
It be nice too if you can tell me what is the potential use of it as well.
That’s just a separator for paths. It’s a syntax for separating paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Nothing to do with makefile.
