Hello,
I cannot understand a behavior of GNU Make.
Would you please teach me about it?
I have done the following procedure in my OSX El Capitan:
$ make --version
GNU Make 3.81

$ ls
Makefile
$ cat Makefile
%: %.m4
m4 $^ > $@
$ touch test.html.m4
$ make test.html
m4 test.html.m4 > test.html
$ touch test.c.m4
$ make test.c
make: *** No rule to make target `test.c'. Stop.
Why does the build of test.c fail?
Is there a way to make it succeed?
Thanks,
Shigio
