If statement in makefile -

i found can use ifneq in makefile , tried compare 0 , output of command stat:

@for f in `find $(path_pages) -name *.hbs`; \     ifneq "`stat -c '%y' $$f`" "0";         //some code here     endif done 

but in terminal i've got error: ifneq: command not found

is there different way compare or maybe i'm doing wrong?

in case don't want use make's ifneq, because text substitution before handing on command shell, have shell loop needs different things in each iteration depending on output of shell command.

use shell if instead:

if [ "`stat -c '%y' $$f`" != "0" ];     //some code here fi
