The "make" utility - do the conditiional macros really work?

Hello,

I've tried to use conditional macros in the makefile like this

SETTINGS = stub

target1 := SETTINGS = somefile

include ${SETTINGS}

target1: ....

No way - when I call the make with "make target1" it stiil includes the "stub" file, NOT the "somefile". Is anybody using this feature? If yes, what did I do wrong?

My OS is Solaris 5.8

My make is /usr/ccs/bin/make

Doc about this make is:

Thank you,

Alex
