how to call a makefile target it it contain variable name?

Question

If let's say target of makefile (ie $(SESSION)/compiled.csh ) contains a variable name .. how can we call a makefile to run with that target ??

--------------calling makefile -------------------------

make \
     -f makefile  \
     session_name=rtl_unit \

---------------- makefile content ----------------------

ifeq ($(MAKECMDGOALS), all) 
 DEFAULT_DEP := dep1 dep2
else
 DEFAULT_DEP := dep1
endif*

export SESSION = $(TESTBENCH_PATH)/blocks/$(session_name)
$(SESSION)/compiled.csh : something

Answer 1

Just add another phony target and make it depend on your hard-to-spell target:

$(SESSION)/compiled.csh : something
compiled : $(SESSION)/compiled.csh
.PHONY: compiled

And then:

make compiled
