gnu make help

[Neil Watson]

Consider this code:

# makefile

# This file will build a boot strap client. 

SHELL=/bin/bash
AWK=/bin/awk
SVN=/usr/local/bin/svn

# Define public key based on varible input
ifeq "${NETWORK}" "172_16_0_0"
        PUBLICKEY=root-172.16.48.66.pub
endif
ifeq "${NETWORK}" "192_168_0_0"
        PUBLICKEY=root-192.168.81.43.pub
endif
ifeq "${NETWORK}" "10_208_66_0"
        PUBLICKEY=root-10.208.66.59.pub
        NETWORK=172_16_0_0
endif

WORKDIR=/var/cfengine
BINDIR=/usr/local/sbin
TARFILES=makefile \
        bin/${VERSION}/cfagent\
        bin/${VERSION}/cfkey \
        bin/${VERSION}/cfexecd \
        inputs/${NETWORK}/update.conf \
        init.d/cfexecd.sv \
        ppkeys/${PUBLICKEY} \
        REVISION.txt

Now consider this make command and the error:

[nhwatson at tor-lx-config config]$ make client VERSION=redhat_as_4 NETWORK=10_208_66_0
make: *** No rule to make target `inputs/10_208_66_0/update.conf', needed by `client'.  Stop.

Why is the network variable not reassigned to '172_16_0_0'?
