how to read an environment variable in a makefile

[Sarvesh Saran]

Hi,

I am a newbie and have a rather basic problem. I would like to read an evn variable and use it in my Makefile . As in:

 

Setenv FILE_PATH /remote/src      …this is done on the command line.

 

Next, in the Makefile,

 

INCPATH = -I$FILE_PATH     (this does not work)

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks.
