Help needed - How to use or condition in makefile
Hi All,
i get struck in between how to use OR condition in makefile.
Eg:
ifeq ($(PACKAGE),x)
LIBS += $(STRIPPED_LIB-ONLY)
else
ifeq ($(PACKAGE),y)
LIBS += $(STRIPPED_LIB-ONLY)
else
LIBS += $(LIB-ONLY)
endif
endif

so if we look into above syntax i have used if else condition twice. is there any possibility of using OR conditional in makefile ? like below...
ifeq ($(PACKAGE),(x | y)
LIBS += $(STRIPPED_LIB-ONLY)
else
LIBS += $(LIB-ONLY)
endif

please help me in how to use OR conditional statement in makefile. from GNU manual i didnt get clear picture of how to use the syntax.

Thanks in Advance

Regards,
Dhanavel

I do not see the | being OR in this context.

Conditional Syntax - GNU `make'
GNU make - Conditional Parts of Makefiles

They do note that you can do OR-ish things using string functions like filter inside ifeq and his friends:

GNU make - Functions for Transforming Text

Do not work hard at terse, go for clear as day.
