writing else if condition in makefile
 
I need to write an else-if condition in a makefile, and though the format is posted on several websites, nothing seem to be working, andI get an error everytime. Could anybody please write a small example with an else-if conditional in a maekefile?

Yes, at least one syntax was broken in make (GNU Make 3.81). The conditional ifeq (et al) seems to work OK:
Code:
TEST=NoProbbs

all : Makefile
ifeq ($(TEST),NoProbbs)
        STATUS=OK
else
        STATUS=NOTOK
endif
