Bug

Thanks guys for all your replies.
I got the solution.

We can pass parameter to makefile by specifying them along with there values in command line.

ex: make PARA1=1 PARA2=ABC.c

This will call makefile with 2 parameters, PARA1 is assigned value "1" and PARA2 is assigned value "ABC.c".
The same name need to be used in makefile to access these varibales ( using $(VAR_NAME) syntax)

md(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						     md(1)

NAME
md -- process raw dependency files produced by cpp -MD SYNOPSIS
md [-d] [-f] [-m makefile] [-u makefile] [-o outputfile] [-v] [-x] [-D c|d|m|o|t|D] DESCRIPTION
The md command basically does two things: Process the raw dependency files produced by the cpp -MD option. There is one line in the file for every #include encountered, but there are repeats and patterns like .../dir1/../dir2 that appear which should reduce to .../dir2. md canonicalizes and flushes repeats from the depen- dency list. It also sorts the file names and "fills" them to a 78 character line. md also updates the makefile directly with the dependency information, so the .d file can be thrown away (see d option). This is done to save space. md assumes that dependency information in the makefile is sorted by .o file name and it procedes to merge in (add/or replace [as appropriate]) the new dependency lines that it has generated. For time efficiency, md assumes that any .d files it is given that were cre- ated before the creation date of the "makefile" were processed already. It ignores them unless the force flag [f] is given. FLAG SUMMARY
-D c|D|d|m|o|t Specify debugging option(s): c show file contents D show very low level debugging d show new dependency crunching m show generation of makefile o show files being opened t show time comparisons -d Delete the .d file after it is processed -f Force an update of the dependencies in the makefile, even if the makefile is more recent than the .n file. (This implies that md has been run already.) -m makefile Specify the makefile to be upgraded. The defaults are makefile and then Makefile. -o outputfile Specify an output file (other than a makefile) for the dependencies. -u makefile Like -m, but the file will be created if necessary. -v Set the verbose flag. -x Expunge old dependency information from the makefile.
