    execute shell script from a Makefile

    I have a target in a Makefile which uses some variables that are defined in a shell script. Can I call that script in the Makefile ?? I wonder if I call a script with a shell then the variables will be available for that environment only.
    Is there any way to do that??
    I can't source that file before calling make for some reason.

    source the script

    Basically, I want to source the script having those variables so that I can use those variables in my makefile.

    execute shell script from a Makefile

    You do it with a shell statement, e. g.
    Code:
    FILE_COUNT = $(shell ls | wc -l )
