make is deleting the c files created during compilation

[J. Grant]

Hello,

I'm experiencing an odd effect using GNU Make version 3.79.1.

When the file created during the execution of the makefile is deleted 
based on this line "$(BMP2C) $< $(*F) > $@" in the Makefile below.

Does make have a rule that "deletes all files cat into automated 
filenames" on exit or something?  I am not calling "rm cd.c" at any 
point in the Makefile.

Is this the desired effect? Is this a bug?

Please cc me in any replies.

Cheers

JG



The following shows the execution:


$ make -f Makefile.mak
/usr/bin/wine.bin d:\\bin\\bmp2c resources/cd.bmp cd > cd.c
#ee-gcc -c  cd.c -o obj/cd.o
#ee-gcc  -Tlinkfile -o balls.elf obj/cd.o
rm cd.c
$



The Makefile is as follows:

CC=ee-gcc
AS=ee-as
LD=ee-elf-ld

BMP2C=/usr/bin/wine.bin d:\\bin\\bmp2c

DEMO = balls

OBJ_DIR = obj
BMP_DIR = resources

BMP_SRC = cd.c
C_SRC =  $(BMP_SRC)


C_OBJ = $(addprefix $(OBJ_DIR)/, $(C_SRC:.c=.o))


$(DEMO).elf: $(C_OBJ)
        #$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -Tlinkfile -o $(DEMO).elf $(C_OBJ) $(S_OBJ) $(LDFLAGS)

$(OBJ_DIR)/%.o: %.c
        #$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

%.c: $(BMP_DIR)/%.bmp
        $(BMP2C) $< $(*F) > $@

.PHONY: clean

clean:
        rm -f $(C_OBJ) *.elf
