Hi I've read about the ifeq command in my GNU make book and on the GNU make web site, but i don't get it to work according to my wishes.
What i want to do is assign different values to a make variable, depending on what the host name is. In particular, when the host name is "localhost" then the variables MAGIC_CFLAGS and MAGIC_LFLAGS are to be set using the MagickWand-config utility.Here's what i do: # set the name of the special case sc=localhost # if its the special case use MagickWand-config ifeq "$(HOSTNAME)" "$(sc)" MAGIC_CFLAGS=`MagickWand-config --cflags --cppflags` MAGIC_LFLAGS=`MagickWand-config --ldflags --libs` else MAGIC_CFLAGS= MAGIC_LFLAGS=-lWand -lMagick endif But no matter what the value of $HOSTNAME is, always the else-branch is traversed. I've also tried ifeq "HOSTNAME" "sc" but this didn't change anything. Can someone please explain where i have gone wrong and how i could get the desired behaviour? Thank You Jody _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
