Make with a prompt



I'm trying to get a makefile to prompt a user for a value.
The normal bash syntex doesn't work
i.e

example:
 read value
 use $value for something

It prompts the user, but I don't know where it's putting value

echo $value returns nothing
echo $$value returns $value

Does anyone know how to do this?

thx,
NZG.
