Question on ifeq ()

[Bhaskar G]

Hi All,

I have a simple makefile as below. Even
though the $(STATUS) value is 1 the ifeq doesnot gothrough this condition.
I am using Gmake 3.80
on linux. 

btc6l001$  gmake -f bg.mk
1
PASS
1 --BG


all:
        $(eval
STATUS := $(shell ls blahblah> nul 2>&1 ;echo $$?))
        @echo
$(STATUS)
ifeq ($(strip $(STATUS)),1) 
        @echo
"FAIL"
        @echo
"$(STATUS) --BG1"
else
        @echo
"PASS"
        @echo
"$(STATUS) --BG"
endif 
Thanks & Regards,
Bhaskar G
