GNU MAKE issue

[Oliver Shariff III]

Hello, hope you understand my post because im getting crazy with that
MAKE thing on Solaris...
does anybody know something about that? hope so..my question is easy I
suppose but I don't get any

well, I have a big Imakefile im trying to educate just a little, and
Im wondering how to pass my own variables
to that makefile, for example I try to define WORD as follows

WORD="a path";
for word in `pwd | tr -s "/" " "`;

echo "$$WORD/pathtoinclude/Imakefile.rules" > dir_path/Imakefile; \
@@\

so my results are 0, do you know how I get WORD onto that echo?
Ive tested different forms to pass my variables but...as this other
example

rel=""; found="0"; \                                                            
                                                                                
@@\
        address@hidden word in `pwd | tr -s "/" " "`; \                         
                                                                @@\
        if $(found)= -eq 1,     then $(rel)=$(rel)../; \        @@\
        if $(word)="ADA",then $found="1"; \                                     
                                        @@\
        echo "$(word)/$$rel/$$found/Imakefile.rules" > dir_path/Imakefile;
\    @@\
