Use makefile variables - they $(look_like_this) - and pass them as environment variables on the command line, e.g.:

Code:
$ cat makefile 
speak:
    echo $(PHRASE)
$ make speak PHRASE=hi
echo hi
hi

ml-makedepend

ml-makedepend(1)					      General Commands Manual						  ml-makedepend(1)

NAME

       ml-makedepend - list files a ML program depends upon

SYNOPSIS

       ml-makedepend [ DU-options ] [ -n ] [ -f makefile ]  project.cm target
       ml-makedepend [ DU-options ] [ -a arch ] [ -o os  ] [ -f makefile ] project.cm target

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the ml-makedepend command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page.  The ml-makedepend script is part of the SML/NJ CM (Compilation and Library Manager) that is  used
       to generate a list of files that a ML program depends on for use by make.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -n     ml-makedepend  usually  uses  the  make variables $(ARCH) and $(OPSYS) in the filenames for the Makefile.  This option disables this
	      feature.

       -a arch
	      Use arch in place of $(ARCH).

       -o os  Use os in place of $(OPSYS).

       -f makefile
	      Name of the makefile to be used rather than the default Makefile.

       -Dname=value
	      Set CM variable to given value.

       -Dname Set CM variable to 1.

       -Uname Unset CM variable.

SEE ALSO

       sml(1), ml-lex(1), ml-build(1), ml-yacc(1).
       The programs are documented fully by CM: The SML/NJ Compilation and Library Manager, User Manual, Matthias Blume, which	is  available  via
       <http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/doc/CM/new.pdf>.
