Follow-up Comment #3, bug #13529 (project make): OK, I tracked down my problem and reduced it to a small testcase:
The Makefile looks like this: vpath %.te test/ .SECONDARY: default: test/a test/b test/a: fail.te test/b : fail.te test/fail.te: test/ exists but is empty. When I run make with this makefile it complains: "make: Circular test/b <- fail.te dependency dropped." This seems like a bad interaction between vpath and .SECONDARY, if I remove one of the two lines the problem goes away. I don't know if this is fixable, but at least a nicer error message would be very helpful. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13529> _______________________________________________ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
