Hi Ignacio, I think you are trying to assign to a make variable from a command in a recipe. You can't do that, sorry. Consider that each line in a recipe runs in a separate shell: it cannot change variables in it's parent make process or even set shell variables for other lines in the same recipe.
To understand how to achieve your goal I think we need to know what you intend to do with CHECK. Is it really a counter or just a boolean? Do you just want to fail the build if it fails or do something else? Cheers, Duane.
