I'm having trouble getting the exit status of a

doesn't seem to work for me.
example snippet -
target: clean
for file in $(FILES) ; do \
echo " => Processing $$file" ; \
`<command>` ; \
echo "RETURN CODE == $?" ; \
done ; \
Any ideas? What am I doing incorrectly here?
You need $$?, just as you needed $$file above.
The test case shows no reason for using the backquotes, BTW.
