Hi,
Using the above version of make, I'm encountering an issue whereby a
pattern-based implicit target works when called as part of several other
targets, but not when called on it's own. Specifically, I receive 'No rule to
make target' when I call error-prone target alone. I would very much appreciate
your assistance to avoid this problem.
The simplest form of the Makefile that demonstrates this issue is as follows:
all: \
dirA/dirB/loop1/file2 \
dirA/dirB/loop2/file1 \
dirA/dirB/loop2/file3 \
dirA/dirB/loop2/file2
dirA/%/file2: \
dirA/%/file1 \
echo "$@";
dirA/%/loop1/file1: \
echo "$@";
dirA/%/loop2/file1: \
dirA/%/loop2/file3 \
echo "$@";
dirA/%/loop2/file3: \
dirA/%/loop1/file2 \
echo "$@";
/ End of Makefile
`make all` succeeds, as does make'ing any of the first three prerequisites of
'all'. However, `make dirA/dirB/loop2/file2` on it's own yields
make: *** No rule to make target `dirA/dirB/loop2/file2'. Stop.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Luke
