Makefile problems

[xbyte]

Hello,

I'm writing a Makefile for installation of my client servers, but I've run into problems. In my Makefile I have the following line

/usr/local/bin/axel:         
-pkg_add http://${REPO}/${OS}/Latest/axel.tbz         
if [ ! -f $@ ]; then cd /usr/ports/ftp/axel && make -s package-recursive clean; fi

So when I do make /usr/local/bin/axel it doesn't do anything. It's like if the if statement is not correct - and does not cd to /usr/ports/ftp/axel.

Other similar statements are working fine in my script. Any suggestions ?

That looks just horrible....

How about something like:

RUN_DEPENDS=   axel:${PORTSDIR}/ftp/axel

See Porter's Handbook: 5.7 Dependencies

Okay, thank you.

But I figured it out, I accidentally did spaces, and not tab for \t. But yes, you are right, it might need a large makeover soon.

Thanks for you reply.
