Various kinds of make support a common set of Makefile structure elements, but all advanced features, like condition instructions, are implemented differently. See this intro on BSDMake, an example of conditional in GNU Make (check adjacent nodes as well), and ≈corresponding part of Microsoft NMake reference.
