Please keep my email-address confidential, as I don't want to get spam. The command (1) make elf gives the result "make: *** No rule to make target `elf'. Stop." when no makefile exists.
The command (2) make -f mmm aaa gives the result make: mmm: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `mmm'. Stop. I'd prefer to get the "No such file or directory" in every case when the makefile is not found. For command (2), mmm is the name of the makefile and _not_ the name of a target. It looks like there is a connection between the two bugs. It was very confusing and took a long time to find out this was a make bug, when I first encountererd command (1), as there was a makefile named 'xyz.mke' but no makefile named 'makefile'. ============================= make --version GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
