awk inside a makefile
 

I am writing a Makefile and need to use simple awk command to parse a file.
my makefile looks like this :
when I execute the makefile, The $1 in the awk script is substituted by make by an empty space since $1 is taken as a make variable , when it is actually a awk variable. Is there any way I can get makefile to escape resolving $1 .. I tried to escape the $1 as \$1 but then awk complains as bad command.
is there any way to this any other way ?

Thanks.

You can try using cut or a set of cuts.
