You need to use a few tricks to do this.
I have rewritten the code you provided:
> VAR2 = $(if ??? $(VAR1), S1, s, $(if ??? $(VAR1), M, m)) # ??? means: don't
VAR2 := $(if $(filter S1,$(VAR1)),s)
VAR2 := $(if $(filter M, $(VAR1)),m,$(VAR2))
So what happens here:
The expression $(filter S1,$(VAR1)) result in 'S1' when VAR1 equals S1.
Therefore $(if select the first part, which is s.
The second line have $(VAR2) in the else clause to avoid overwriting the previously
assigned value.
You can use filter-out, filter, patsubst to obtain the same functionality.
HTH,
