Please help me out in this

I am not sure whether this is the output you had expected
but this is
what appears after running that makefile with little
modifications:

53 abhay2 > gmake -f  t.make
!!! makhdr ERROR: undefined variable: DEVDIR
!!! makhdr ERROR: undefined variable: ETCDIR
!!! makhdr ERROR: invalid variable: MAKTYP
!!! makhdr ERROR: invalid variable: MAKHDRTYP))
-----------------------------------------------------
And the modified makefile
54 abhay2 > cat t.make
ifeq ($(DEVDIR),)

        _error_::
        echo "!!! makhdr ERROR: undefined variable:
DEVDIR"

endif



ifeq ($(ETCDIR),)

_error_::
        echo "!!! makhdr ERROR: undefined variable:
ETCDIR"

endif



ifneq ($(MAKTYP),gnu)

_error_::
        echo "!!! makhdr ERROR: invalid variable:
MAKTYP"

endif



ifneq    ($(MAKHDR),$(ETCDIR)/makhdr.$(MAKTYP))

_error_::
        echo "!!! makhdr ERROR: invalid variable:
MAKHDR"

endif

Has a DEVDIR variable actually been defined?

Consider this simplified test case:

/tmp[0]$cat abhay.make
all:
ifeq ($(DEVDIR),)
        echo "!!! makhdr ERROR: undefined variable:
DEVDIR"
else
        echo "DEVDIR = $(DEVDIR)"
endif

/tmp[0]$make -f abhay.make
!!! makhdr ERROR: undefined variable: DEVDIR
/tmp[0]$make -f abhay.make DEVDIR=foo
DEVDIR = foo

That's the output I would expect.
