Makefile doesn't seem to be working

[kareking1]

So I set up DEVKITPRO in my environment, but I noticed it still kept throwing me the error that I hadn't. Looking inside Makefile, I noticed it has an ifeq with the strip command (which by default I don't have nor heard of before). I'm no expert by any means, so maybe this is my fault, but isn't the ifeq checking if $DEVKITPRO is equal to nothing after the strip? Looking online, strip seems to be for removing symbols. My devkitPro by default was installed in C:/

So the path is: C:/devkitPro
If you remove the symbols, wouldn't it be like CdevkitPro? I just don't understand the if condition here and if I'm missing something.

Thanks for your time
