Doesn't work because the match is not on words of the list but on the full list and you're not using globs. Aside from Giorgos' method, one might consider: LIST=f8 f9 LINUX_VER=invalid .for _VERSION in ${LIST} .if (${USE_LINUX} == "${_VERSION}") LINUX_VER=${_VERSION} .endif .endfor all: .if !empty(LINUX_VER:Minvalid) @echo "Invalid linux version: ${USE_LINUX}" .else @echo "Using linux version ${LINUX_VER}" .endif -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
