io redirection - Makefile - Syntax error with for-loop -

in makefile, need cycle through list , write current element of list in file. code following:

shell := /bin/bash list = b c test: in $(list) \ echo $ii > file.txt \ done

i next error:

/bin/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `>'

do know how prepare it?

you missing ; after $(list). need terminate list of words giving for before can start do block.

as indicated in comments, additionally need : @ end of echo line (the command gets run has no newlines way works @ normal command line need explicitly separate commands each other).

and further, results expect, need escape $ in shell command using $$i (also pick 1 of $i or $ii variable name).
