(Related to Shell script to export environment variables in make)

I want to use a shell script to create some variables that make can later use. I thought I could just source the script:

target:
  . myscript
  echo ${FOO}   # FOO is exported in myscript

but this doesn’t seem to work. Is there a way to do this?

    How abt using an include directive instead. Put the variables defs in a separate makefile instead of a shell script.
