Do a simple call to false. The false command allways returns an error. The error will cause make to halt unless you did call with "make -k", then make will try to continue with other targets that doesn't depend on the aborted target. > ifneq ($(COMPILERSUPPORTED),yes) > @echo Compiler '$(COMPILERNAME)' not supported. > # I want to abort here instead of proceeding with the build! > else > @echo Building with $(COMPILERNAME)... > endif > ############################################### > > The only thing I can think of is to deliberately call a system command that > I know will return an error... but that seems a bit of a fudge. I my opinion it is "the right" way to do it: ifneq ($(COMPILERSUPPORTED),yes) @echo Compiler '$(COMPILERNAME)' not supported. false else @echo Building with $(COMPILERNAME)... endif regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.
