makefile syntax

Could someone please tell me what this line means in a Makefile.

libs-$(CONFIG_MIPS_DB1500) += arch/mips/au1000/encm3/

Thanks,
Ashlesha.

libs-(value of config_mips_db1500, defined somewhere else in the makefile?)=arch/mips/au1000/encm3/

libs-(value) is a variable thats being defined. I'm 99 % sure that is whats going on. You can log the output of the compiler, and trace what that comes out to. Might be hard depending on how many things config_mips_db1500 can be.

In addition to previous post - "+=" is for "append" (not "assign")
