Re: new to make (GNU make on NT 4.0)

[David Luchin]

If you don't give make a specific target on the command line, make will
build the first target listed in the makefile.  In this case, that is "
%.obj ".  If you put $(program_name) first, it should work (assuming
that's your only problem, and I don't know NT well enough to claim that
it is).  Alternately, you could run

make -f makefile --jobs=1 -k ctest

to tell it what, specifically, you want to build.
