Hi,
I have following makefile:
VPATH=./.
#VPATH=.
all: dir/lib.a
dir:
+mkdir dir
dir/%.o: %.cpp dir
+touch $@
dir/lib.a: dir/a.o dir/b.o
+touch $@
clean:
rm -rf dir
Problem is that if VPATH=./., I am getting following error:
rm -rf dir
gkupava@apinydev02 stdalonetest 5.8 $ gmake -f test.mk
mkdir dir
touch dir/a.o
gmake: *** No rule to make target `dir/b.o', needed by `dir/lib.a'. Stop.
gkupava@apinydev02 stdalonetest 5.8 $ gmake -f test.mk
touch dir/b.o
touch dir/lib.a
if I set VPATH to . or unset it, all is fine. Is this a bug? How to explain
this?
Tested with gmake 3.82 and 4.1 on linux/amd64/RHEL5.
Thanks in advance,
Gennady
