make(1) has many quirks, but the basic syntax is very simple.
understanding make(1) will improve your life! seriously, you can get
much more from the ports if you know how the system works.
roman@freepuppy ~/tmp 1020:0 > < Makefile
all:
.if defined(FOO)
@echo "\$${FOO} is defined"
@echo "\$${FOO}: '${FOO}'"
.else
@echo "\$${FOO} is undefined"
.endif
.PHONY: all
roman@freepuppy ~/tmp 1021:0 > make -DFOO=yes
${FOO} is undefined
roman@freepuppy ~/tmp 1022:0 > make -DFOO
${FOO} is defined
${FOO}: '1'
roman@freepuppy ~/tmp 1023:0 > make FOO=yes
${FOO} is defined
${FOO}: 'yes'
