firstly this clearly has nothing to do with hardware, please pick your forums more carefully. secondly, no one actually read makefiles, they are very dull. that line as an arbitrary piece of bach code says to print an error message if a given file is not readable, couldn't say anythign about the actual application of it here, as you've given one solitary line...
