converting nmake to gnumake

Thank you for your help and such a quick reply, sorry I
didn't give
enough information. I plan on upgrading to 3.81 though
currently at 3.79
I am converting nmake make file to gnumake.

Converting this over:

ifeq "$(HW_PROCESSOR)" "PROCESSOR_1"
|| "$(HW_PROCESSOR)" "PROCESSOR_2"
|| "$(HW_PROCESSOR)" "PROCESSOR_3"
    $(OBJ_DIR)\herc_pollserial.o   
	...
Endif

How would you use the $(or condition1, condition2) in the
above
statement,
Or the ways around using 3.79.

Are there forums or irc that you would recommend, so that if
I had small
questions like this I could ask?

Thank you

I'm not sure how to answer this.

If you're using GNU make 3.81 you can use the $(or ...) and
$(and ...)
functions.

Be sure you understand how make determines true vs. false in
boolean
contexts.


If you aren't using 3.81, there are various tricks you can
use: we'll
need more information about EXACTLY what you're trying to
do.

Something that would work for that in all versions would be:

    ifneq (,$(filter $(HW_PROCESSOR),PROCESSOR_1 PROCESSOR_2
PROCESSOR_3))
        $(OBJ_DIR)/herc_pollserial.o
    endif

Note you should ALWAYS use UNIX-style directory separators
(/) in
makefiles, and never use DOS-style (\).

This mailing list is it.
