This looks like Microsoft NMAKE.  In general, MS NMAKE has a much more 
expressive syntax for expressions like this, so you may have some 
difficulty converting.  However, in this particular case, I think the 
following GNU make syntax is equivalent:

ifneq ("$(LEVEL)","1")
    $(error Level is not valid!)
endif

Hope that helps,
