1. Make sure that command lines begin with tab characters instead of spaces.

2. The directives should be spelled ifdef and endif instead of Ifdef and
Endif. i.e. they are case-sensitive. Hopefully this is just your mail
editor and not in your original makefile.

3. You should remove any blank lines within a rule, i.e. between the All:
and the endif, because they can sometimes have unexpected consequences.

4. Please indicate your version of make, by typing make -v .

Thanks,
