------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 22 02:48:16 -0800 2005 ------- The following makefile.mk gives the error "Don't know how to make `foo.b'" when invoked as "dmake foo.b": .a.b : @copy $*.a $*.b foo.a :: @echo foo>foo.a If I remove the ":" modifier from the "foo.a" target's ":" rule operator then it works fine, but dmake's manual does say that having a single "::" target is illegal, and, indeed, it works fine in other cases, e.g. the following: bar.b : bar.a @copy bar.a bar.b bar.a :: @echo bar>bar.a In the above, issuing the command "dmake bar.b" corrcetly makes bar.a followed by bar.b. So it appears to be something to do with the combination of the ".a.b" type rule with a single "::" target that causes the problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
