Description
I'm using a freshly build version of premake-git from the AUR on ArchLinux. It was build from commit 458911fe8dfffea79e0c0393557e88d72324f2a3
I'm using this premake file. It gives me this Makefile, which, when run, just emits make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.. Apparently it tries to compare variables with nothing ifneq (,$(vinyl_config)), so no wonder. using make -f vinyl.make just works fine. I think something about the emission of the main Makefile is wrong. premake5 emits no errors.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the linked premake5.lua input and inspect the generated Makefile, comparing it with the working vinyl.make output. Start with the default target and its variable conditionals; done means running make on the generated Makefile builds the project instead of reporting that there is nothing to be done.
