I am looking for a way to count something in make.

I thing about a variable set to a string with a numeric meaning, say

COUNT := 0

and then have a function like this

count := $(incrementbyone $(COUNT))

 

Is there something like this?

The "Make Standard Library":

http://gmsl.sourceforge.net/

can do that and many related operations. (Search that page for "int_plus".)
