Hi folks,
Can anyone explain to me why the first Makefile works and yet the second
Makefile doesn't? The second Makefile produces the following error
messages on ``make test''
| "Makefile", line 1: Malformed conditional (widget == ${BAZ})
| "Makefile", line 1: Need an operator
| "Makefile", line 3: if-less endif
| "Makefile", line 3: Need an operator
| "Makefile", line 9: Need an operator
| make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
#Makefile1:
FOO= widget
BAZ= widget
BAR=
.if ${FOO} == ${BAZ}
BAR= equal
.endif
test:
echo BAR=${BAR}
#Makefile2:
BAZ= widget
.for FOO in ${BAZ}
.if ${FOO} == ${BAZ}
BAR= equal
.endif
.endfor
test:
echo BAR=${BAR}
Ciao,
Sheldon.
