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.
