In a makefile, is there a way to “wrap” a section of shell commands in order to save on the line continuation \ all the time?
updated: my main area of concern revolves around stuff like nested if blocks.
@if ... \
#do stuff \
else: ; \
#do some more stuff \
@if ... \
# do more stuff
...
No, you’ll have to create a script with your shell commands, and execute it from the makefile, or stick with the backslashes.
