In GNU Make, how do I convert a variable to lower case?

Question

This is a silly question, but.... with GNU Make:

VAR = MixedCaseText
LOWER_VAR = $(VAR,lc)

default:
        @echo $(VAR)
        @echo $(LOWER_VAR)
<         


        

Answer 1

If Python is installed this runs even on Windows:

$(shell python -c "print('$(VAR)'.lower())")
