gEDA-user: OT help with Make

[myjunk stuff <carzrgr8@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can someone point me in the right direction, I am stuck -


my Makefile looks something like this:

============================>
type=RESISTIVITY


resist: resistivityAnalysis.csv

pdar: PdArAnalysis.csv


resistivityAnalysis.csv : list_of_dependant_files
         build_resistivityAnalysis type

pdar.csv: list_of_other_dependant_files
         build_pdarAnalysis type

============================>


What I want is to simply call "make resist" or "make pdar" and have the 
thing change the variable 'type' accordingly, but can't come up with
a solution.  For now, brute force works and the parameter is passed on 
the command line - but that is a lousy way in my opinion.

Make manual describes target dependant variable defintions, but it 
didn't work - gave me an error something like "unknown comman".
That should have worked for me.  Another option was to call $(make) 
recursively - yet another kludge, and it picked up the directory from
where the executable is located, not the sources, so that didn't work 
out.

Is there a way to do the following:

target1 :
    rule1

target2 :
    execute target1


stumped,

gene
