Because you ran it from command line. ;-) You can copy and paste the
same lines to *Makefile* like this:
------------
.if !defined(OSRELDATE)
.if exists(/usr/include/osreldate.h)
OSRELDATE!= awk '/^\#define[[:space:]]*__FreeBSD_version/ { print $$3 }' \
/usr/include/osreldate.h
.else
OSRELDATE= 0
.endif
.endif
all:
@echo "reldate = ${OSRELDATE}"
------------
and run make. You will see something like this (depending on your
header file):
%make
reldate = 600034

Where do you see it?
