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.
