It doesn't sound like make is really the right tool for the job. You're just going to end up with a single rule that always runs and does all the work with an inline shell command. It would be better to just write and call a shell script instead: make really does nothing for you in this case. > # If the string !myapp exists, CHECK=0 > 1 > $Q $(eval CHECK := $(shell if grep -q \!myapp "/etc/rsyslog.conf" ; > then You are still trying to assign a makefile variable from within a recipe. You can't do that. > First, if exists !myapp, if it does not exist, to do a while to check if > exists local?.* where ? is a number between 0-7. At the moment that local?.* > does not exist, take it, to do a printf and exit of while. Is it possible ? To make this work CHECK and i need to be shell variables, not makefile variables. As I said, you're going to end up doing all the work in a shell command so just write a shell script. Or, better, look into tools designed for this job such as augeas or ansible, etc. Cheers, Duane. -- "I never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine" - Bob Dylan _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
