Shell commands in GNU make

Was wondering, how can you put a for loop etc. into a makefile so it works?

Something like:

Code:

sub:    $(HEADERS)
          for dir in $(SUBDIRS); do @echo $$dir done

Doesn't seem to work for me although i've seen the syntax used elsewhere, all I get is an "unexpected end of file" error from bash.

Anyone got any clues?
