Re: dependency problem

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your inputs. I cross checked
but there is no tab in after the line. makefile is attached in this mail.

 

gmake -rd returns this output.

    Considering target file
`/tmp/bg/objs/src/bg2.o'.
     File `/tmp/bg/objs/src/bg2.o'
does not exist.
     Looking for an implicit
rule for `/tmp/bg/objs/src/bg2.o'.
     Trying pattern rule
with stem `src/bg2'.
     Trying implicit
prerequisite `src/bg2.c'.
     Trying pattern rule
with stem `src/bg2'.
     Trying implicit
prerequisite `src/bg2.c'.
     Looking for a rule
with intermediate file `src/bg2.c'.
      Avoiding implicit
rule recursion.
     No implicit rule
found for `/tmp/bg/objs/src/bg2.o'.
      Pruning file `makefile'.
     Finished prerequisites
of target file `/tmp/bg/objs/src/bg2.o'.
    Must remake target `/tmp/bg/objs/src/bg2.o'.
    Successfully remade target
file `/tmp/bg/objs/src/bg2.o'.


If I remove  the line 
$(OBJS):makefile

and replace 

/tmp/bg/objs/%.o:%.c makefile

everything seems to be working fine.

Is this a bug then?

Thanks & Regards,
Bhaskar

Maybe you have a stray TAB in your makefile after this line?

If that's not it you should use the -d option and see what make thinks
about the src/bg2.o target.
