gmake and passing variables

[Joerg Krautwurst-Schmid]

Hello all,
 
I have a question about gmake and passing options to it.
That doesn't mean the gmake options!
For example:
I use gmake to call another build process (ant) to compile and build java
classes. Now I want to pass a special option (e.g debug) to ant.
But I don't know how to do this ? Is there a chance to pass options from the
commandline and handle them in the Makefile or do I have to use
environment variables to do this and check if the variable is set etc.
 
Thanks a lot
 
Joerg
